Soiling and Cleaning of Polymer Film Solar Reflectors [PDF]
Energies, 2016 This paper describes the accelerated ageing of commercially available silvered polymer film by contact cleaning using brushes and water in the presence of soiling created by dust and sand particles. These conditions represent cleaning regimes in real concentrating solar power (CSP) solar fields in arid environments, where contact cleaning using brushes

WEED CONTROL BY SOLARIZATION AND MULCHING IN COWPEA DEVELOPMENT
Revista de Agricultura Neotropical, 2020 Weeds are a serious threat to agriculture because they compete with crops, thereby interfering in production. As such, this study aimed to assess weed control using soil solarization and mulching on the growth and yield of cowpea. A completely randomized

Soil solarization at an organic farm: effects on weed emergence, soil nutrients and soil microbial communities [PDF]
Weed management is one of the main challenges for organic agriculture. Soil solarization has been shown to be an effective mitigation strategy for weeds and soil borne plant pathogens but few studies have been conducted in cooler climates such as the ...

THE EFFECT OF SOIL SOLARIZATION ON THE MICROFLORA ASPECTS OF SOIL FERTILITY [PDF]
HortScience, 1990 Field plots on Norfolk sandy loam soil at Tuskegee and Eufaula, AL were treated by soil solarization (SS). Samples rhizsosphere (R) and nonrhizosphere soil from cole crop and strawberry plots were collected and assayed with selective media for population densities of microbes involved in organic decomposition and mineralization.
