Meth-O-Gas® 100 and Meth-O-Gas® Q Commodity fumigants used for insect control on many different commodities. Methyl bromide has recently been phased out of production, but still has exempted uses for “Quarantine and Pre-Shipment” uses, as well as for “Critical Use Exemptions”. For further information on methyl bromide, contact us atinfo@cardinalproproducts.com.
Methyl bromide used for soil fumigation is still approved under the “QPS or CUE” exemptions. Tree-site replants remain an important use for methyl bromide.
Pic-Brom 25 (75% methyl bromide, 25% chloropicrin) is also registered for tree-site use. The added chloropicrin gives superior disease control and growth response.
Chloropicrin has shown to be very effective against “Almond Replant Disease”. Cardinal Professional Products has cooperated with USDA to perform studies on methyl bromide alternatives, and we recently received registration on chloropicrin for tree-site applications.
The pictures show the second year of almonds replanted after treatment of 1.0 lb/tree-site of methyl bromide, and 2.0 lbs. of chloropicrin/tree-site. Chloropicrin is a very effective fumigant for control of various soil pests, including nematodes. As you can see from the photos, the growth response from chloropicrin is significant.
