Abstract

Soil Solarization is a new sustainable method that has been shown to be effective in the control of plant parasitic nematodes, soil borne fungal pathogens, and weeds. Organic agriculture could benefit most using such technique to reduce crop losses. The effect of soil solarization in The control of plant parasitic nematodes and soil borne fungal pathogens was studied in two uncovered plastic houses in two private farms by covering the soil with polyethlyne tarps 40um.thick for 30 and 45 days during summer season. Both houses were planted with cucumber ,tomatoes and pepper ,and both were
