Odor perseption of a fumigant was evaluated using local subjects.  Various application rates (low and high) onto various soil types (sandy loam to clay loam) were evaluted.  The subjects were driven in golf carts to specific locations at measured distances from the treated plots.  Each subject was asked to rate the presence of an odor, the type of odor, and the intensity and characteristics (pleasant, offensive, etc.) for each marked location.  The actual concentration was determined for each location as well.  Control plots were evaluated along with actual treated plots.
