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
Definition from ΤΕΙ Κρήτης Σχολή Τεχν: Η ηλιοαπολύμανση είναι η απολύμανση με την ηλιακή ενέργεια την οποία συλλαμβάνουμε και παγιδεύουμε στο έδαφος με τη χρήση του πλαστικού.
Example sentence(s):
Αυτή η μέθοδος είναι γνωστή ως ηλιοαπολύμανση και βασίζεται στο γεγονός οτι η ενέργεια του ήλιου που διαπερνάει το πλαστικό παγιδεύεται και αυξάνει τη θερμοκρασία του επιφανειακού στρώματος του εδάφους (55 βαθμοί Κελσίου). Αυτό προκαλεί τον θάνατο των σπόρων των ζιζανίων μέσα στο έδαφος και το θάνατο των νεαρών ζιζανίων τα οποία δεν μπορούν να αντέξουν τις υψηλές θερμοκρασίες που επικρατούν στο εσωτερικό μεταξύ της επιφάνειας του εδάφους και του πλαστικού. - Αντράκλα
