Abstract
In order to replace methyl bromide in all the uses thereof in soil or substrate treatment, the invention relates to the use of at least one sulphur compound having general formula: wherein R represents an alkenyl or alkyl radical, n is equal to 0, 1 or 2, x is a number between 0 and 4 and R′ represents an alkenyl or alkyl radical or, only if n=x=0, a hydrogen or alkali-metal atom. The sulphur compounds (in particular dimethyldisulphide) can be applied according to standard soil treatment methods (by injection, spraying, dripping, sprinkling) and said compounds have no phototoxic effects.
