Fumigating Tobacco Soils Scott S
Effective If Done Properly Store
A peat that annually coat*
Hlh Carolipn trbacco tow
its million* of dollar* la being
riven the "gas treatment."
Tar heel producer* are using
fumigation in an effort to rid
their tobacco coil* of destruc
tive nematodes.
These microscopic pests la?t
year reduced the value nf the
North Carolina flue-cured to
bacco crop by an estimated $6
million.
Crop rotal:on, plowing out
stubbs afte- harvest and fumi
gallon are three anti-nematode
measures being followed by
produce i s
"Fumigation can be one ?r
the most effective measures a
farmer can use in reducing the
nematode population in his
fields." comments Fiirnov
Todd, extension plant pntholn
ry specialist at North Carolina
State.
"But its use is not some
thing that can be given a blan
ket recommendation," the spe
cialist added. "Unless a farm
er is willing to follow direc
tions carefully and do the best
Job passible, fumigating soils
may be of no benefit to him
and could actually do a certain
degree of harm."
Todd hsted several su""es
tions for the producer who
plans to use fumigants in to
bacco soils this spring.
First, the farmer should
select the right material from
the relatively large number of
fumigants available. "The level
of nematode infestation, the
kinds of nematodes present
and the crop rotation that has
been followed help determine
which fumigant to use." said
Todd.
Among the materials recom
mended are D-D, Telone, EDB
85, Dorlone, Fieldfume and
Penphone.
Penphone has been used in
research and demonstration
tests for the past three years
and is making its debut on the
market. Tests have shown it
to be effective against root
knot nematode, according to
Todd.
The specialist continued by
suggesting that farmers obtain
from their county extension a
Kent a table of application
rates.
"Hie rate of application is
very important," said Todd.
"Under application will only
result in an added cost of pro
duction that won't pay off.
Over application can damage
the tobacco plants and reduce
crop value."
Farmers should take extra
precautions in calibrating equi
pment and checking it at least
twice a day. 'There is no room
for guesswork here." Todd
warned.
Continuing. Todd said the
fumigant should be applied at
least eight inches below soil
level. "The fumigant changes
into a gas once it is in the
soil," he explained. "It is the
gas that does the job. There
fore, depth of application is im
portant."
If the row method of appli
cation is used, the fumigant
should be applied about 14 in
ches from the top of a high,
wide bed.
A seal should be provided
immediately after application.
This can be done with row
method of application by
throwing a large bed with a
turning plow or four discs on
a tractor with a large sweep
behind the tractor running
middles.
If the broadcast method is
used, the soil may be firmed
with a log or by dragging.
After the fumigant is appli
ed, the farmer should wait at
least two weeks before trans
planting. "The best plan to
follow is to apply the fumigant
at the earliest date possible
after soil temperature reaches
SO degrees," said Todd.
If heavy rains occur after
application, the bed should be
opened for aeration and then
rebedded before transplanting,
"Fumigation can be a valu
able practice when it is done
properly," Todd said. "It is a
practice the farmer himself
has to decide on."
Every duty which we omit,
ibscures some truth which we
should have known.
