Would

Are
there

Describe
the
effectiveness
of
the
alternative
in
controlling
pests
in

Metam
sodium
performs
erratically
and
inconsistently
due
to
its
poor
fumigant
attributes.
It
does
kill
shallow
roots
at
250
ppm
by
drenching.
Metam
sodium
can
be
as
effective
as
methyl
bromide
when
applied
at
twice
the
label
rate,
which
is
not
legal.
New
delivery
systems
are
being
investigated
to
deliver
metam
sodium
through
soil
in
water,

but
availability
is
limited.

Erratic
results
and
difficulty
of
obtaining
good
distribution
in

is
a
limiting
factor.
Availability
of

Information
in
this
application
may
be
aggregated
with
information
from
other
applications
and
used
by
the
United
States
government
to
justify
claims
in
the
national
nomination
package
that
a
particular
use
of
methyl
bromide
be
considered
"
critical"
and
authorized
for
an
exemption
beyond
the
2005
phaseout.
Use
of
aggregate
data
will
be
crucial
to
making
compelling
arguments
in
favor
of
critical
use
exemptions.
By
signing
below,
you
agree
not
to
assert
any
claim
of
confidentiality
that
would
affect
the
disclosure
by
EPA
of
aggregate
information

Burden
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for
a
Federal
agency.
This
includes
the
time
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information,
processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing
and
providing
information;
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
with
any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
train
personnel
to
be
able
to
respond
to
a
collection
of
information;
search
data
sources;
complete
and
review
the
collection
of
information;
and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.
Public
reporting
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
324
hours
per
response
and
assumes
a
large
portion
of
applications
will
be
submitted
by
consortia
on
behalf
of
many
individual
users
of
methyl
bromide.
An
agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor,
and
a
person
is
not
required
to
respond
to,
a
collection
of
information
unless
it
displays
a
current
OMB
control
number.

These

Addition
of

does

Treatment
combination
is
promising,
but
continued
research
is
required
to
learn
how
to
deliver
material
in
an
efficaceous
and
economical
manner
that
can
fit
into
commercial
production
practices.

Erratic
results
and
difficulty
of
obtaining
good
distribution
in
soil
is
a
limiting
factor.
Availability
of
economical
and
commercial
delivery
equipment
that
can
distribute
the
material
throughout
the
soil
must
occur
for
widespread
use
of
metam
