Soil Fumigation plays a crucial role in managing challenges like ARD (Apple Replant Disease), ensuring better soil conditions and healthier plant growth. For this orchard, the process involved removing the existing plants, performing the soil fumigation, and allowing the soil to settle for 21-30 days before replanting the apple trees.
This careful and precise approach creates the ideal environment for apple trees to flourish, giving farmers a strong start for their crops.
Soil Fumigation immediately knocks back soil-borne disease giving plants their best start. Suppressed disease allows the native species to rebound in the soil. Trials with major universities have demonstrated an increase of beneficial organisms in soil that has been properly fumigated.
