| Figure 3. After the plastic was removed, producers farmed through
the plot area with their normal farming practices. Since methyl bromide is heavier
than air, the fumigant penetrates through straw and soil to kill fungi. This is the
no-till planting on continuous wheat at the Williston Research Extension Center,
Williston, ND. The natural soil plot is in the foreground and the fumigated plot is
immediatley behind. (photo by Jim Staricka) |
