Methods of treating soil

Abstract

The present disclosure describes methods of treating soil with a composition including methyl isothiocyanate (MITC) or a compound that produces MITC as a degradate, or a functional equivalent or alternative thereof, by (1) applying the composition to soil to produce treated soil; and mixing/blending the treated soil to a depth of at least 60 cm; (2)applying the composition at two depths between 0 cm and 60 cm below the soil surface, at least one depth of which is at least 40 cm below the soil surface. Also provided are systems for delivering a composition including MITC or a compound that produces MITC as a degradate, or a functional equivalent or alternative thereof, to soil, for instance in a field. Described systems provide for delivery of the composition at least 40 cm below the soil surface, and optionally for mixing/blending the soil.
