Abstract
Georgia vegetable farmers are
pressed for time to make the
transition to new fumigation
methods as use of methyl
bromide (MeBr) will be
completely banned soon. This
study focuses on alternative
fumigation methods for
Georgia's bell pepper
production with production
efficiency matching MeBr.
Analyses of enterprise cost and
return estimates indicate the
comparable financial feasibility
of certain technically efficient
fumigant systems vis-à-vis the
conventional production plan
involving MeBr.
