Abstract: The effect of soil covering with transparent polyethylene sheets, known as soil solarization, on tomate crop insule a 10m x 25m plastic greenhouse was evaluated in the Subtropical Central Region of the Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. A 80-day solarization pre-planting treatment from December 17, 1992 to March 7, 1993 significantly enhanced marketable fruit weight of "Monte Carlo" tornato variety (91% increase). A large increase was observed in plant growth response resulted by solarization, even in the absenc… Show more

“…It was apparent that at higher plant density, fruit length to diameter ratio decreased, which may be attributed to severe competition between vegetative and reproductive organs and consequently can be followed by decreasing fruit size. In agreement with our findings, Papadopoulos and Ormrod (1990) and Streck et. al.…”

“…Determining the relationship between the soil temperature during solarization and the rate at which the process kills a given pathogen is a complicated task. The time course and pattern of heating during soil solarization is very different from that usually established based on heat mortality curves generated under controlled laboratory conditions (Streck et al, 1996). It has been reported that more than 150 microbial pathogens from animals can be transmitted to humans through different routes (USDA, 1992; US EPA, 1998) and they greatly vary in terms of their resistance to temperature under different environmental conditions.…”

“…The use of high temperature in greenhouses and foil tunnels (even above 90 • C) provides very good results in the control of crop pests and pathogens [9,23], as well as in seed disinfection. However, it should be noted that it is dangerous for soil microflora, therefore it is recommended to use temperatures up to 60 • C, at which most pathogens die, and the antagonistic microflora is able to regenerate [9].…”
