volatile or semi-volatile state to control soil-borne pests; therefore, the dispersal rate and the ability of a fumigant to move in soil at high concentrations will determine the effectiveness of the fumigant ( Nelson et al., 2013 ). In California, MeBr

microbes. There is also a decrease in plant stress resistance and an exacerbation of soilborne diseases and pests ( Nguyen and Ranamukhaarachchi, 2010 ). The primary causes leading to soil sickness include the deterioration of soil physicochemical
