1) Soil solarization is a method of soil disinfection that uses transparent plastic sheets to increase soil temperature and kill pathogens, weeds, and weed seeds in the soil of vegetable beds. 2) It involves no chemical pesticides. Plastic sheets are used to cover prepared soil beds to trap heat and increase soil temperature, killing all pathogens, weed seeds, and pests in the soil. 3) The process takes 2-4 weeks depending on the season, after which the plastic is removed and the soil is ready to plant into.
