ABSTRACT:
Crop yields are significantly enhanced by treating soil or other plant growing media with a fungicidally or pesticidally effective amount of metham, the fungicidally or pesticidally effective amount being insufficient to significantly retard growth of a plant. In the practice of the invention, the soil or growing media surrounding roots of growing plants is treated with metham by dripping an aqueous solution of metham onto the media, by injecting the aqueous solution into the soil, by irrigating the soil or by drenching or spraying the soil with the aqueous solution. Significantly reduced amounts of metham are employed to reduce damage to the plant or vegetative material.
