Popis:	A study was conducted in a commercial strawberry planting on the California central coast to evaluate the relative efficacy of chemical and organic alternatives to methyl bromide fumigation. The three chemical alternatives included Telone/Chloropicrin 70/30, Basamid, and Metam sodium. Organic alternatives included addition of broccoli residues, spent mushroom compost, and a combination of both broccoli and spent mushroom compost. All treatments were compared to standard methyl bromide/chloropicrin 75/25. Weeding costs were five-fold greater in organic treatments than in chemical fumigant treatments and were not statistically different from untreated controls. The weed species in the organic treatments were significantly different than in the untreated or the chemical fumigant treatments, suggesting that these weeds were in the added organic material. Strawberry yields were highest in the methyl bromide/chloropicrin, Basamid and Telone/chloropicrin treatments. Strawberry yields among the organic treatments...
