7. How did you determine these articles were meaningful?
well, its related to california, and the article looks interesting.and its using garlic power to help be enerivornmental safety for workers.

"One material that may act as a
sclerotial germinating stimulant is garlic powder used in the food processing industry. In
this study garlic powder was incorporated into the soil at three rates. Periodically
thereafter, the number of viable sclerotia in the soil dropped significantly in the treated
plots, approaching the degree of sclerotia mortality achieved with an application of methyl
bromide. Being a natural plant product, garlic powder is a readily available,
environmentally compatible, renewable resource that should pose no problem to worker
safety." pg 6
