The fate of methyl isothiocyanate (MITC) was studied in agricultural soils following metam sodium (MS) application in a controlled system and under field conditions as it was related to disease control. Soil samples were collected from 34 field sites in Israel with no history of MS application. The
BACKGROUND
A fumigant volatilization emission was conducted in Washington State in the fall of 2008 to estimate flux following applications of metam sodium by modified low-boom-height (LBH) center-pivot chemigation and soil-incorporated shank injection. This study was performed in a commercial
BACKGROUND
A series of illnesses occurred in Earlimart, CA on November 13, 1999 following a metam-sodium sprinkler application to a potato field on the southern edge of the town.
METHODS
Case information was obtained from direct interviews, from illness complaints filed with state or county
We studied the development of accelerated degradation (AD) of methyl isothiocyanate (MITC) following repeated applications of its parent compound, metam-sodium (MS). Laboratory studies and four sets of field experiments were conducted during 2002-04 in three commercial fields in Israel. Repeated
Benzyl isocyanide, cyclohexyl isocyanide, benzyl isocyanate, methyl isocyanate, benzyl isothiocyanate, and methyl isothiocyanate were each tested for ethylene-like activity in a pea (Pisum sativum) growth assay. Only the isocyanides gave an ethylene-like response; the concentration that gave a
