1 Paladin, Pic-Clor 60, and Pic-Clor 80 (Chloropicrin): Drip- and Shank-applied under Retentive Film for Strawberry Production in California Mona Othman, Shachaf Dotan, Jonathan Hunzie, and Husein Ajwa University of California Davis, Salinas USDA-Pacific Area-Wide Methyl Bromide Alternatives Program

2 Paladin: a new soil fumigant Dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) EPA Registration was granted in 2010 (Arkema and United Phosphorus, Inc.) Applied only under VIF/TIF Used as a flavoring for an onion or garlic taste in some processed cheese and meat ( ppm) Efficacy/formulation??

3 ODOR DMDS (PALADIN ) has a strong, objectionable odor which can be detected at concentrations significantly below the levels that can potentially cause harm. The odor is a garlic-like or natural gas and may be confused with the odor of or propane leak. Minimum tarp removal on the label is 14 days. With VIF/TIF tarps and for odor mitigation, minimum tarp removal is based on soil temp and the plant back chart.

4 Laboratory dose-response studies 80% inhibitory concentration (MIC 80 ) Application rate to control 80% of pathogens population (lbs/ac) Soil fumigant Fusarium Oxysporum Pythium ultimum Rhizoctonia solani Tylenchulus semipenetrans Verticillium dahlia DMDS:Pic (79:21) MBr:Pic (50:50)

6 Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of DMDS+chloropicrin and chloropicrin+1,3-d formulations and application rates for strawberry yield and weed control under virtually impermeable films (VIF) and totally impermeable film (TIF).

7 Salina s Research Site Sand 67%, silt 19.25%, clay13.75%, organic matter 1.2%. ph 7.12, average soil temperature 65F. Shank research area each treatment is 3 passes, each pass 11 ft wide and 280 ft long Drip research area each bed is 100 feet long, each treatment 4 beds

8 Materials and Methods Shank treatments were applied on October 15, Drip treatments were applied on November 1, Fumigants were applied under standard tarp (Std), TIF, or VIF.

12 Methods Drip fumigation was done with two drip tapes per bed Beds were tarped with VIF and TIF

13 Methods Strawberry plants (Albion variety) were transplanted four weeks after the applications. November 26, Weed evaluations were made prior to weeding activity throughout the growing season.

14 Fruit harvested weekly and graded as marketable and nonmarketable yield. Methods

15 Diameter (inches) 6 Early Season Plant Diameter under TIF, March No significant difference due to treatment or plastic were found in plant diameter
