Methyl bromide (MB) and other alternatives were evaluated for suppression of Fusarium spp.,  Phytophthora  spp., and  Meloidogyne  spp. and their influence on soil microbial communities. Both  Fusarium  spp. and  Phytophthora  spp. were significantly reduced by the MB (30.74 mg kg -1 ), methyl iodide (MI: 45.58 mg kg -1 ), metham sodium (MS: 53.92 mg kg -1 ) treatments. MS exhibited comparable effectiveness to MB in controlling  Meloidogyne  spp. and total nematodes, followed by MI at the tested rate. By contrast, sulfuryl fluoride (SF: 33.04 mg kg -1 ) and chloroform (CF: 23.68 mg kg -1 ) showed low efficacy in controlling  Fusarium  spp.,  Phytophthora  spp., and  Meloidogyne  spp. MB, MI and MS significantly lowered the abundance of different microbial populations and microbial biomass in soil, whereas SF and CF had limited influence on them compared with the control. Diversity indices in Biolog studies decreased in response to fumigation, but no significant difference was found among treatments in PLFA studies. Principal component and cluster analyses of Biolog and PLFA data sets revealed that MB and MI treatments greatly influenced the soil microbial community functional and structural diversity compared with SF treatment. These results suggest that fumigants with high effectiveness in suppressing soil-borne disease could significantly influence soil microbial community.
