Metam-Sodium Soil Fumigant: Effective Pre-Planting Solution for Pest-Free Agriculture

What is Metam-Sodium?

Metam-Sodium is a versatile soil fumigant widely used in agriculture to control a broad spectrum of pests, including nematodes, fungi, weeds, and soil-borne diseases. It acts as a pre-planting treatment, ensuring healthy crop growth by sterilizing the soil.

Key Features of Metam-Sodium

1. Broad-Spectrum Control: Targets nematodes, fungi, insects, and weed seeds in the soil.

2. Pre-Planting Application: Applied before sowing or planting to prepare pest-free soil.

3. Cost-Effective: A single application provides comprehensive soil treatment.

4. Gas Release Mechanism: Converts to methyl isothiocyanate (MITC) in the soil, ensuring deep penetration and efficacy.

5. Compatible with Various Crops: Suitable for vegetables, fruits, nuts, and ornamentals.

Applications of Metam-Sodium

1. Soil Sterilization:

   • Eliminates harmful pathogens and pests, creating optimal conditions for crop growth.

   
   

2. Nematode Control:

5. Environmental Adaptability:

   • Works effectively in diverse climates and soil conditions.

   
   

How Does Metam-Sodium Work?

Metam-Sodium is applied to the soil and converts to methyl isothiocyanate (MITC) upon contact with moisture. MITC diffuses through the soil, targeting pests and pathogens at various depths. This fumigant action sterilizes the soil, ensuring a clean environment for planting.
