Another aspect of maximizing the efficacy of metam sodium is timing the application to match the pest when it is respiring. Growers who began adding moisture to their fields as much as 30 days in advance of applying metam sodium enabled more pest respiration, thereby enabling the product to do its job more efficiently. The study examined 15 unique application methods. Every one of them created a unique pattern of metam sodium distribution in the soil. Many cooperators didn't realize that metam sodium can move downward 6 inches below the injection point with no problem if the soil is ripped and moist. But facilitating upward movement is more challenging, especially in rapidly drying soil conditions. This really underscores the importance of pre- moistened soil in assisting the product to move upward. Lateral readings also consistently showed greater product movement in the presence of soil moisture and where the soil had been mechanically softened, even in sandy soil conditions. The product application method is critical. Dry soil is basically a wall. Compacted soil is basically a wall. Frozen soil revealed some very interesting patterns of uneven product movement. So, the primary takeaways after two years of observation are: • Chemigation didn't move metam sodium into the soil nearly as deeply as many people thought—about 4 inches. That's something you may or may not want to address. As you consider how to apply product in this upper layer, remember to be really careful to follow the label. Good stewardship practices are critical. • Product movement was observed to increase by creating some sub- moisture and applying the product in that sub-moisture range. If the soil is dry or if you create mud, you're likely limiting product movement. • Soil tilth is important. When shanking the product, metam sodium was observed to move 6 inches above and below the injection point if you've ripped and if you have moisture in the soil. Therefore, ground preparation is more important than many people have previously thought. Soil moisture and when you get moisture in the soil is more important than many people have thought. And precision placement is critical. To maximize effectiveness, you need to put metam sodium where you want it, and not rely on it moving. Again, as you experiment with your own application techniques, make sure that stewardship is at the top of your mind. Avoid dry, compacted soil. Limit the amount of product that makes it at or near the surface. Be really aware of inversion conditions to prevent odor issues. Remember that metam sodium wants tilthy and moist soil to work most efficiently. It moves some, but it doesn't move as far or in the ways you might have assumed.
