      nematode in southeastern Idaho.

AB  - Methyl bromide (MeBr) is a sterilizing fumigant used to control quarantine pests 
      that is restricted due to its detrimental atmospheric effects. The degradation of 
      injected MeBr produces crop-available Br(-) . Up to five applications of MeBr 
      were used in southeastern Idaho fields to combat the pale cyst nematode 
      (Globodera pallida). Data regarding the uptake and partitioning of Br(-) in crops 
      following MeBr application in the region were unavailable. Research determined 
      background concentrations of Br(-) in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), barley 
      (Hordeum vulgare L.), corn (Zea mays L.), potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), and 
      wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) compared to MeBr-treated fields. Background Br(-) 
      concentrations ranged from nondetectable (ND) to 33.0 mg Br(-) kg(-1) ; 
      vegetative tissue concentrations were greater than reproductive, except corn 
      where there was no difference. Nearly all crops grown in MeBr-treated fields had 
      greater Br(-) concentrations than background. Background-baled-alfalfa tissue 
      Br(-) concentration was 33.0 mg kg(-1) compared to 117.8 mg Br(-) kg(-1) from a 
      MeBr-treated field. Br(-) concentration in green alfalfa decreased from 79.8 to 
      36.5 mg Br(-) kg(-1) at the final cutting in a MeBr-treated field, where time 
      after application decreased crop Br(-) concentrations. Small grains had low Br(-) 
      concentrations in reproductive tissue (1.7 mg Br(-) kg(-1) ) compared to 
      vegetative tissue (106.5 mg Br(-) kg(-1) ). Corn stover concentration (12.7 mg 
      Br(-) kg(-1) ) was low relative to small-grain straw, but corn ear (5.8 mg Br(-) 
      kg(-1) ) was greater than small-grain reproductive tissue in the MeBr-treated 
      field. Crop selection following MeBr applications should consider the likelihood 
      of elevated Br(-) concentration for the plant fractions intended end use.
