Abstract
Two field trials were conducted to examine the efficacy of methyl bromide (MBr) alternatives in the control of Cyperus rotundus L. (purple nutsedge) and Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. f.sp. lycopersici (Sacc.) Snyder & Hansen (Fusarium wilt) in fresh market tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). Various treatments compared combinations of soil fumigants and herbicides based on methyl bromide, chloropicrin, 1,3-dichloropropene, metam sodium, dazomet, and pebulate. The data show that consistently 1,3-dichloropropene plus chloropicrin at both doses in combination with the herbicide pebulate can be considered alternatives to methyl bromide in fresh market tomato. These treatments had excellent purple nutsedge and Fusarium wilt control, and marketable tomato yields were similar to that for methyl bromide plus chloropicrin.
