Applications submitted to the MBT program must address one or more of the following questions:
1. How can non-fumigant management options be developed and/or improved as part of a systems-based integrated pest management strategy?
2. What integrated strategies could be used to improve soil health, resulting in improved pest management in crops impacted by the loss of methyl bromide in the pre-harvest environment? Examples include altering the microbial community of the soil to favor beneficial microorganisms that could inhibit pests and pathogens; soil amendments to reduce pests; and use of cover crops and rotations to reduce pest populations.
3. What strategies could be used in a systems-based integrated pest management approach to improve pest management in the post-harvest environments impacted by the loss of methyl bromide?
4. How can current methyl bromide alternatives be improved or combined to improve their effectiveness and economic viability?
