DISEASES CAUSED BY SOILBORNE PATHOGENS: BIOLOGY, MANAGEMENT AND CHALLENGES (2017, background): “There are thermotolerant pathogens, e.g., Macrophomina phaseolina and Monosporascus, which are not controlled by soil solarization (Katan, 1981; Stapleton, 2000; Gamliel and Katan, 2012a).”
Puccinia psidii: a threat to the Australian environment and economy —a review (2007, background): “In an eradication attempt, solarisation of soil with black plastic may be useful over small areas to kill spores following fungicide or herbicide application (Stapleton 2000).”
Effects of Cover Cropping, Solarization, and Soil Fumigation on Nematode Communities (2006, background): “One of the more effective non-chemical strategies against several soil-borne diseases and pests is soil solarization (Katan 1987; McGovern and McSorley 1997; Stapleton 2000).”
Time and Temperature Requirements for Weed Seed Thermal Death (2007, background): “…has recently approved treatment guidelines for solarization as a nematicidal treatment for container nursery plants (CDFA 2002), treatment guidelines for solarization in the field are currently limited to a general recommendation of 3 to 6 wk treatment during hot summer months (Stapleton 2000).”
