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

dirvos soliarizacija


Definition from own experience or research:
Dirvos padengimas plėvele, apspaudžiant kraštus, kad sukauptas karštis naikintų piktžoles.

Example sentence(s):
  • Pietų šalyse dirvos soliarizacija yra labai efektyvi priemonė dirvos patogenams, tokiems kaip Pyrenochaeta lycopersici, Didymella lycopersici, Verticillium dahliae, Phytophthora capsici, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici, nematodams ir kai kurioms piktžolių rūšims naikinti. - Baltic Seeds  
  • Pasibaigus auginimo sezonui, svarbu sterilizuoti auginimo substratus garais arba soliarizacija ir išvalyti įrankius ir šiltnamio sienas. - Baltic Seeds  
  • Yra toks keistas reiškinys soliarizacija. Dalį dirvos padengia plėvele ir prispaudžia kraštus. „Šiltnamis“ nedidelis, todėl kyla siaubingas karštis. Viskas, kas auga, per vasarą tiesiog išverda. - Užsidirbk pats
