TIF film, substrates and nonfumigant soil disinfestation maintain fruit yields. California Agriculture. 67(3):139-145.Interpretive Summary:
                                Technical Abstract: A 5-year project to facilitate the adoption of strawberry production systems that do not use methyl bromide initially
focused on fumigant alternatives and resulted in increased use of barrier films that reduce fumigant emissions. The focus shifted in year 3 to evaluating and demonstrating nonfumigant alternatives:
soilless production, biofumigation, anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) and disinfestation with steam. In the 2010-2011 strawberry production season, fruit yields on substrates were comparable to
fruit yields using conventional methods. Anaerobic soil disinfestation and steam disinfestation also resulted in fruit yields that were comparable to those produced using conventionally fumigated soils. Additional work is in progress to evaluate
their efficacy in larger-scale production systems in different strawberry production districts in California.
