Rebuilding Soil Ecosystems for Improved Productivity in Biosolarized Soils [PDF]
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 an organic option for soil pest control and avoids human and environmental health risks associated ...

Alleviating phytotoxicity of soils biosolarized with almond processing residues
Environmental Technology & Innovation, 2021 Abstract Biosolarization is a method for controlling soil pests and pathogens where biomass amendments are incorporated into soil and fermented under thermophilic conditions. Endogenous and fermentative organic acid biopesticides derived from the amendments can disinfest soil without the use of potentially harmful chemical fumigants.

Brassicaceae-Based Biosolarization Reduces Lettuce <i>Fusarium</i> 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 remains limited.

Assessment of tomato and wine processing solid wastes as soil amendments for biosolarization [PDF]
Waste Management, 2016 Pomaces from tomato paste and wine production are the most abundant fruit processing residues in California. These residues were examined as soil amendments for solarization to promote conditions conducive to soil disinfestation (biosolarization). Simulated biosolarization studies were performed in both aerobic and anaerobic soil environments and soil ...

Comparison of soil biosolarization with mesophilic and thermophilic solid digestates on soil microbial quantity and diversity [PDF]
Applied Soil Ecology, 2017 Soil biosolarization (SBS) is a pest control technique that combines passive solar heating and fermentation of amended organic matter. The extreme soil conditions generated during SBS could decrease microbial biomass and restructure the soil microbiome, which could impact soil quality.

Soil biosolarization for sustainable strawberry production
Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2014 Strawberry is a high value crop worth 315.6 million euros in 2013 in Spain. Strawberry diseases are commonly controlled by soil fumigation with toxic chemicals. However, since 2007, the methyl bromide fumigant is banned for strawberry cultivation.

Rapid Response Indicators for Predicting Changes in Soil Properties Due to Solarization or Biosolarization on an Intensive Horticultural Crop in Semiarid Regions [PDF]
Land, 2022 Agriculture practices developed since the middle of the last century have led to the degradation of different resources and made it necessary to promote agricultural models that are less aggressive towards nature. Sustainable agricultural growth requires a more efficient use of land.

Effect of cover cropping and biosolarization on eggplant growth, soil pests, and soil nitrogen
Journal of Agriculture and Food ResearchCover cropping and biosolarization are agricultural practices capable of controlling soil pests, enhancing soil health, and improving crop yields. Biosolarization utilizes solar heating and biochemical pesticide production from organic matter amendments to control agricultural pests.

Applied Soil Ecology, 2020 Biosolarization is an integrated pest management strategy that combines soil solarization with organic amendment application. In the present study, soil samples were taken after biosolarization using tomato pomace and green waste compost (GWC) amendments and analyzed to elucidate changes to the soil microbiome, including both fungal and bacterial ...
