secondary metabolites that negatively affect plant pest populations) substitutes for commercial fumigants in controlling soil-borne pests (weeds, diseases, and nematodes) that affect the yield or quality of crops ( Al-Rehiayani and Hafez, 1998 ; Brown and
nonchemical technique for controlling weeds, nematodes, and several soil-borne diseases ( Katan, 1987 ; McGovern and McSorley, 1997 ; Stapleton, 2000 ). The increased temperature (45–55 °C) at a 5-cm soil depth under clear plastic films caused mortality of a

Intensive fruit, ornamental, and vegetable production systems in the United States and elsewhere in the world rely on preplant soil fumigation to control soil-borne pathogens, pests, and weeds. These include strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa ) and
suppress soil-borne pests is known as biofumigation ( Matthiessen and Kirkegaard 2006 ). Biofumigation may inhibit emergence and growth of cash crops ( Ackroyd and Ngouajio 2011 ; Haramoto and Gallandt 2005 ). However, because many allelopathic chemicals
tunnels. Like any sound pest and disease management system, IPM begins with prevention. The soil one plants in and the transplants one may bring into a high tunnel must be pest and disease free. Introducing pests and diseases into the high tunnel, or
farm planting ( CDFA, 2008b ). These regulations have been enacted to ensure that soil-borne pests and pathogens are not spread from infested field nurseries and that establishment and vigor of new fruiting fields is not compromised. For decades
Strawberry production in Florida occurs between October and March on ≈7100 acres, with a reported value of ≈$180 million ( U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2005 ). Sting nematode is one of the most economically important soil-borne pests in
