TI  - Impacts of the Ban on the Soil-Applied Fumigant Methyl Bromide.
LID - 10.1094/PHYTO-09-23-0345-IA [doi]
AB  - The loss of the soil fumigant methyl bromide (MeBr) and adoption of soil fumigant 
      alternatives has been challenging for farmers, particularly for those crops in 
      which pathogens previously controlled by MeBr have emerged as significant 
      problems, but it has resulted in some unanticipated benefits for the scientific 
      community and the environment. Applauded as one of the most effective 
      environmental agreements to date, the universally accepted Montreal Protocol on 
      Ozone Depleting Substances has had a significant impact on the environment, 
      reducing the release of halogenated compounds from anthropogenic sources enough 
      to mitigate global warming by an estimated 1.1 degrees C by 2021. The funding associated 
      with various MeBr transition programs has increased collaboration across 
      scientific disciplines, commodity groups, industry, and regulatory agencies. 
      Chemical alternatives and improved application strategies, including the 
      development of gas-retentive agricultural films, coupled with sound efficacy data 
      and grower ingenuity have resulted in the sustained production of many of the 
      impacted crops; although there has been some loss of acreage and value, 
      particularly for Florida fumigated crops, but for some, value has continued to 
      increase, allowing production to continue. The loss of a single, broad-spectrum 
      tool for pest control has led to a deeper understanding of the specific pest 
      complexes impacting these at-risk crops, as well as the development of new, 
      biologically based management tools for their control, while increasing our 
      understanding of the role of the soil microbiome in pest control and crop 
      production.
