Abstract
ETHYLENE oxide has been used for soil sterilization by introducing it under reduced pressure to containers holding the soil in pots or trays. Results have been satisfactory so far as sterilization is concerned, and there appears to be a minimum change in chemical and physical properties of the soil, though certain changes have been reported1.
