The effect of circular soil biosolarization treatment on the physiology, metabolomics, and microbiome of tomato plants under certain abiotic stresses [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Soil biosolarization (SBS) is an alternative technique for soil pest control to standard techniques such as soil fumigation and soil solarization (SS). By using both solar heating and fermentation of organic amendments, faster and more effective control ...

A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Soil Disinfestation Methods against Root-Knot Nematodes in Mediterranean Intensive Horticulture [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Losses caused by phytoparasitic nematodes in crops depend directly on their soil densities at the start of the crop, so reducing their populations before planting is the main aim of nematological management.

Brassicaceae-Based Biosolarization Reduces Lettuce Fusarium Wilt (FOLac) in Naturally Infested Soils [PDF]
PathogensBrassicaceae-based bio-disinfestation is a promising non-chemical option to manage lettuce Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae (FOLac), but evidence integrating pathogen suppression, residue chemistry, and soil microbiome response ...

Almond by-product composition impacts the rearing of black soldier fly larvae and quality of the spent substrate as a soil amendment. [PDF]
J Sci Food Agric, 2020 Abstract BACKGROUND Insect biomass is a sustainable alternative to traditional animal feeds, particularly when insects are produced on low‐value high‐volume agricultural by‐products. Seven samples of almond by‐product (hulls and shells) were obtained from processors in California and investigated for larvae production.

Rebuilding Soil Ecosystems for Improved Productivity in Biosolarized Soils
International Journal of Agronomy, 2019 Disinfecting soil can reduce or eliminate crop loss from soilborne pathogens, parasitic nematodes, and weed competition. Biosolarization combines biotoxic products from organic matter decomposition and heat from solarization. While biosolarization offers
