Methyl Bromide Fumigation of Soil Infested by the Fungus Causing Brown Root Rot Complex of Tomatoes and by the Potato Cyst Nematode

Abstract

SUMMARYIn glasshouse soils infested with grey sterile fungus, the cause of brown root rot of tomato, and the potato cyst nematode, methyl bromide fumigation increased yield, and controlled the nematode at all except the lowest treatment applied. In the experiments described here methyl bromide did not affect the development of brown root rot.
