Objectives:
-
To determine the feasibility of the use of nitrogen gas fumigation (a modified atmosphere treatment) for arthropod pest control on plants grown in greenhouses and shipped to Kentucky growers. Removal of insects and mites by the proposed asphyxiation treatment may greatly reduce pesticide treatments in Kentucky greenhouses.
-
To evaluate the thermal environment of high tunnel and tobacco greenhouses during the spring, summer and fall. Specific ventilation strategies will be developed for the use of the diverse types of high tunnel and tobacco greenhouses for crop production based on characteristics of Kentucky’s environmental conditions.
Evaluation of pesticide-free insect control for flower, fruit and vegetable transplants with nitrogen gas fumigation
