An Effective and Responsible Approach
A New White Paper from Huma Gro®
While the routine use of pre-plant soil fumigants has become standard practice for many growers over the years, problems with product availability, safety restrictions, ecological concerns, and soil sustainability have begun to call the practice into question.
