Soil Fumigation

Soil fumigation is the process of applying chemicals to the soil to eliminate pests, pathogens, weeds, and nematodes before planting. This method is used to disinfect the soil, especially in intensive agricultural systems where repeated cropping can lead to the buildup of harmful organisms. Fumigation helps to improve crop yields by reducing pest pressures but requires careful application to avoid negative environmental impacts and ensure safety.
