      columns.

AB  - To develop alternatives to methyl bromide (MeBr) for soil disinfection under 
      environmental Moroccan conditions, distribution and persistence of 
      1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) and methyl isothiocyanate (MITC) were tested in 
      undisturbed soil columns (12 cm internal diameter, 1 m length). 1,3-D was 
      injected at a 15 cm depth and directly followed by metam-sodium (a precursor of 
      MITC), which was applied at the soil surface of the same column using a 
      peristaltic pump. Concerning the distribution of these fumigants in the soil 
      profiles, our results showed that 24 h after treatment, 1,3-D and MITC were 
      concentrated at the 0-40 cm soil layers, and reached the deeper layers 48 h 
      later. MITC and 1,3-D dissipation was studied and the half-life (DT50) measured 
      were 6.5 and 8 days, respectively. Total volatilization losses reached 9% for 
      MITC and 28% for 1,3-D. MITC and 1,3-D volatilization was found to be influence 
      by soil water contents. The results show that by reducing volatilization, 
      photodegradation and leaching of these fumigants a suitable alternative to MeBr 
      use is offered.
