(a) Botswana: Demonstration project - three alternatives to the use of methyl bromide: non-soil cultivation techniques, bio-fumigation with solarization, and application of various mixtures of other chemicals in low doses in tomatoes and curcubits (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/26)

(b) Cameroon: Demonstration project - two alternatives to the use of methyl bromide: non-soil cultivation techniques and application of various mixtures of other chemicals in low doses in tobacco (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/28)

(c) Chile: Demonstration project for testing methyl bromide alternatives in soil treatment applications for tomatoes and peppers) (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/29)

(d) Croatia: Demonstration project: 3 alternatives to the use of methyl bromide in tobacco production; namely: solarization plus bio-fumigation, the use of low-dose chemicals, and non-soil cultivation, all in combination with an integrated pest management programme (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/32)

(e) Jordan: Demonstration project: three alternatives to the use of methyl bromide: steam pasteurization, non-soil cultivation and optimal use of soil fumigants in combination with an integrated pest management (IPM) in cucumbers and tomatoes (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/37)

(f) Mexico: Demonstration project: alternatives to the use of methyl bromide in the cultivation of tomatoes, strawberries, tobacco, melons, and cut flowers (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/39)

(g) Thailand: Demonstration project: alternatives to the use of methyl bromide in grain storage (rice, maize, tapioca, feed grains and pulses) (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/47)

(h) Turkey: Demonstration project: alternatives to the use of methyl bromide as soil fumigant in protected horticulture (tomatoes and cucumbers) and ornamental (carnations) crops (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/51)

(i) Uruguay: Demonstration project: alternatives to the use of methyl bromide as a soil fumigant in protected horticultural crops (cucumbers and peppers), seedbeds, and nurseries (vegetables, tobacco and forestry) (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/52)

Having taken note of the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/17, paragraphs 52 to 57), the Executive Committee decided to approve the above nine projects at the level of funding indicated in Annex III to the present report.
