There is some slight variation in growth from row to row across the trial, but the general appearance of the remainder of the trial is very good. The soil on this block is very rocky and fairly steep, so the conditions for fumigant application were only fair. Dispite this, the trees in the fumigated rows are growing very well. I expected the telone c-17 would be the most affected by the rocky conditions, as the product must be injected by shanks drawn by a tractor, and large rocks cause the shanks to pop out of the soil. Dispite these application problems, tree growth in the telone c-17 treated rows was excellent.
Statistics indicate that there was no significant difference between the two metam products.
