Applying dazomet soil fumigant 
Applying dazomet soil fumigant to an infested site. Dazomet Soil Fumigant is used to destroy seeds of branched broomrape in the soil. the active constituent (methyl-isothiocyanate) destroys broomrape seed at high concentrations and invokes a suicidal germination (without the presence of a suitable host plant) in lower concentrations.
