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
  • Solar energy can be used to kill weeds, weed seeds, and pathogens in garden and restoration sites. Solarization is often as effective as herbicides, fumigants, and other hazardous and expensive pest control methods ecocomposite.org

solarisaatio


Definition from own experience or research:
Solarisaatio tarkoittaa kasvumaan kattamista muovilla, jonka avulla varastoidaan lämpö sen alle ja täten tukahdutetaan rikkakasvit.

Example sentence(s):
  • Kasvinsuojelumenetelmät - viljelylliset - fysikaaliset - mekaaniset - biologiset - kemialliset Fysikaaliset menetelmät * kosteuden ja lämpötilan kontrollointi - tuulettimet, sumutus, valot, lämmitys - tuhoeläinten ja torjuntaeliöiden lisääntyminen - tautien alkuupääsy ja leviäminen (esim krysanteemin valkoruoste-epidemiat ruukkukrysanteemien pistokasjuurrutuksissa kosteuden päästessä tiivistymään lehdille) * kasvualustan lämpökäsittely ennen käyttöä/käytön jälkeen (höyrytys, solarisaatio, kompostointi) tehoaa useimpiin kasvualustassa esiintyviin tuholaisiin. - Kauppapuutarhaliitto  
  • e) laskemalla tuotantokustannuksia, mikä saadaan aikaan käyttämällä mahdollisimman paljon halvempia tuotantomenetelmiä. Esimerkiksi nykyään paljon käytetty metyylibromidia sisältävä tuholaistorjunta-menetelmä (sterilisoiminen) korvataan toisella (solarisaatio), joka on edullisempi ja myös luontoystävällisempi. - Eur-lex
