Fumigation Services to 4.5 Acres Statement of Work
1. Background:
USDA-ARS facility at Parlier, CA has an active grape breeding program that had been planting own rooted seedlings for 20 years in the same soil. Over the time, there is overload of different species of nematodes, soil health is in question and overall health of plants is greatly compromised. Many of these soil-borne issues can be managed with soil fumigation to improve soil health that leads to healthy root systems where plants are able to maximize their water and nutrient use and grow to full yield potential.

Two fields of estimated 4.5 acres that contractor will need to confirm at the site job during the walk-through when the contract is awarded. Fields will be treated with Telone fumigant to control nematode populations, other harmful insects, phylloxera, weeds, bacteria, fungi, and diseases. The fumigant volatizes into gas diffusing through the soil air space, radiating out from the points of injection. Treatment application will be solid. Tarped Shank Application Method is required to inject the fumigant into the ground. It is done commonly with narrow, knife-type shanks with tubes attached to deliver the fumigant and is immediately covered after application with film or plastic to trap the fumigant for efficacy and safety.
