Project 1:Steam Soil Sanitation Technology

Propane-fueled steam can be used as a means of sanitizing the soil and controlling micro-organisms such as soil nematodes, effectively replacing the use of methyl bromide. PERC has supported the study of steam infestation technology, which is leading to the development and testing of various methods of steam delivery into the soil.
