English term or phrase: soil solarization
Definition from tradewindsfruit.com:
The process of covering soil with plastic to trap heat underneath and kill off weeds.

Example sentence(s):
  • The first step in soil solarization is to till the area to be treated. It is necessary to break up soil clods and plant debris in order to enhance heat conduction through the soil. University of Arizona
  • In addition, solarization stimulates the release of nutrients from organic matter present in the soil. It is especially effective for treating garden soils, where the intent is to plant vegetables, herbs, and flowers. weekendgardener.net
  • Solar energy can be used to kill weeds, weed seeds, and pathogens in garden and restoration sites. Solarization is often as effective as herbicides, fumigants, and other hazardous and expensive pest control methods ecocomposite.org

Bodensolarisation


Definition from Achmed Khammas - Das Buch der Synergie:
Hierbei handelt es sich um ein Verfahren, bei dem durch transparente Kunststoffabdeckungen eine Erhöhung der Bodentemperatur und damit auch die Vernichtung von Schädlingen erreicht wird.

Example sentence(s):
  • Bei der Bodensolarisation werden bewässerte und vorbereitete Anbauflächen mit Kunststofffolie bedeckt. Durch die Strahlen der Sonne heizt sich der Boden so stark auf, dass Unkräuter und Unkrautsamen vernichtet werden und die Anbaufläche danach bepflanzt werden kann. - MLM Forum
