This USDA grant supports integrated commercial-scale research and extension activities developing alternatives to methyl bromide. This grant is for addressing the immediate needs and transition costs from the scheduled phase-out of methyl bromide, a pesticide critical for managing soilborne and postharvest pests. Projects should explore new methodologies, technologies, and strategies for controlling economically important pests where methyl bromide was the sole effective option. Proposals must address commodities with critical issues and include a focused economic analysis of implementing these transition solutions on a commercial scale.

| Description: | The methyl bromide transitions program addresses the immediate needs and the costs of transition that have resulted from the scheduled phase-out of the pesticide methyl bromide. Methyl bromide has been a pest and disease control tactic critical to pest management systems for decades for soilborne and postharvest pests. The program focuses on integrated commercial-scale research on methyl bromide alternatives and associated extension activity that will foster the adoption of these solutions. Projects should cover a broad range of new methodologies, technologies, systems, and strategies for controlling economically important pests for which methyl bromide has been the only effective pest control option. Research projects must address commodities with critical issues and include a focused economic analysis of the cost of implementing the transition on a commercial scale. |
