chemical fumigants to manage soil-borne pests in agriculture. It includes fumigant types and modes of
action, soil gas movement, application methods, calibration, and pest control effectiveness. The text
also emphasizes safety requirements such as PPE, environmental protection, buffer zones, and
regulatory compliance for restricted-use pesticides. Exam preparation focuses on understanding
fumigant behavior in soil, factors affecting efficacy (moisture, temperature, sealing), and safe
