DEMONSTRATIONS ON ALTERNATIVES TO MB FOR STRAWBERRY IN SPAIN. 2004-2005 RESULTS.

In 2002, these field demonstrations showed very similar yields (with cv. ‘Camarosa’) to the standardized use of MB+pic (50-50) in the area for 1,3D-pic (TelopicTM) and Dazomet (BasamidTM). In contrast, soil solarization with simultaneous Metam Sodium shank-application or simultaneous biofumigation gave poorer results. In 2003, the results showed that the agronomic and morphologic response of cv. ‘Camarosa ’ to 1,3D-pic (61-35) (TelopicTM) was similar to that obtained with BM+pic (50-50), even with 50 % dosage under black VIF film. The yield obtained with Dazomet (BasamidTM) was a bit lower than for the other fumigants
