The Pacific-Area Wide Integrated Methyl Bromide Alternatives project was a five-year focused program which brought together multidisciplinary teams in partnership with commercial growers to develop and demonstrate alternatives to methyl bromide (MB) use in key crop systems. Beginning in 2006, we continued to conduct large-scale field trials to compare standard MB treatments to the best available alternatives, including substitute fumigants and integrated pest management (IPM) practices.
The trials were conducted at field locations representing the diversity of the commercial production systems. Specific objectives included:
• Identification of key variables affecting the efficacy of MB alternatives and demonstrate management of these variables to optimize performance of the alternatives.
• Assessment of technologies and strategies involving alternatives to MB which reduce emissions.
We invite you to peruse or study the various component projects presented here.
