Soil solarization weed control in specialty crops
Soil solarization (SS) is a broad-spectrum soil disinfestation technique for the control of crop diseases, nematodes and weeds. Target soils are tilled, irrigated to field capacity, covered, and sealed with transparent polyethylene (PE) plastic mulch during the hottest part of the year for a period …

Solarization as a means to eliminate invasive plant species and target the seedbank
… plant reintroductions. A technique known as "solarization" was used to eliminate the seedbank and to facilitate the survival of native plants. Tarps were used to eradicate existing plants followed by disturbance of the soil and watering to induce germination of subsoil weed seeds. As the new …

Soil solarization and soil additives as alternatives to preplant fumigation in annual plasticulture strawberry production
… is necessary. This research focused on soil solarization, products including paper pellets, mustard seed meal, and corn gluten meal. Two studies were conducted at the Virginia Tech Hampton Road AREC (Agricultural Research and Extension Center), and follow-up studies at the Flanagan Farm in …

Modeling the Sprouting of Cyperus Rotundus L. Tubers in Response to Soil Temperatures under Soil Solarization
… This study demonstrated the ability of soil solarization to increase final cumulative tuber sprouting and to concentrate tuber sprouting in time. Soil solarization has potential as part of an integrated control program for purple nutsedge in combination with a systemic herbicide such as …

Effects of Sudangrass Cover Crop and Soil Solarization on Weed and Pathogen Management in Organic Strawberry Production
… Chase) cover crop management techniques and soil solarization on important agricultural weeds and pathogens in organic strawberry production in Central California. Lab experiments assessed the time needed to kill weed seeds at temperatures typically achieved during soil solarization …

Acción nematicida (Globodera rostochiensis) y metabólica del suelo, en procesos de biodesinfección, mediante la aplicación de enmiendas de origen animal, vegetal y antrópico
… wastes were used, by applying biodesinfection / solarization strategies, with nematicide purposes. After their biodegradation in the soil, those wastes were able to regulate pathogenic nematode populations. The determination of metabolic activity in soil by monitoring a particular enzyme profile …

Bases agronómicas para la utilización de restos agrarios en biodesinfección de suelos
… effectiveness is increased when combined with solarization (biosolarization) where appropriate humidity levels are necessary to facilitate the decomposition of organic matter and diffusion in the soil of the substances produced. In general, the effect is biostatic, therefore the gases must be …
