Dazitol vs. MBr in Florida
Commercial Field Trial
“Dazitol was found more
effective than methyl bromide to
control various pests of tomato
(var. Carmello) in Manley Farms.”
Field Trials: Nematode Study on
Gonzalez Farm, Florida Tomatoes
Pre-treatment samples
– 410 - 440 nematodes per 250 cc of soil
4 days post soil treatment
– 290 of 410 nematodes dead: 60%
5 days post treatment, 90% kill of 440 nematodes
– 305 rootknot nematodes -- 100% dead
– 20 stubby nematodes -- 100% dead
– 5 spiral nematodes -- 100% dead
– 110 stunt nematodes -- 60% dead
– Thus, 90% kill and 100% of major nematodes
Gonzalez Farm
Field Trials in Jordan,
Farm of Eng. Ziad Tommalieh
Problem: “Huge infestation of nematodes”
Action: Dazitol Trials for two years
Results:
* No nematode infestation July – Sept.
* No infestation of fungus
* Increase in productive life of the plant
80 greenhouses of 500 sq. meters + 50 acres of open field farmland.
Crop: Cucumbers
“Dazitol is without question the alternative to methyl bromide.”
“I personally experienced that Dazitol increases yields by 20 percent. It is cost effective, and is environmentally safe and effective.”
