Project Type: Specific Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: May 31, 2003
End Date: May 31, 2008

Objective:
Assess the biological impacts of crop production systems in transition away from the use of methyl bromide.

Approach:
Six diverse land management programs were established on 14.4 acres of land that had been in long-term tomation production using methyl bromide fumigation. Data collection begins in Fall 2003 on crop growth parameters, micro biology weed control, and soil using molecular, biochemical and classical methods to characterize functional and taxonomic diversity.
