Definition from
tradewindsfruit.com:
The process of covering soil with plastic to trap heat underneath and kill off weeds.
Example sentences:
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)

solarização do solo
Definition from
http://www.ipv.pt/millenium/esf8_solo.ht:
A solarização do solo baseia-se no aproveitamento da energia solar por intermédio de um filme de plástico transparente (Katan et al., 1976), de espessura reduzida, que se coloca sobre a superfície do solo previamente humedecido, durante os meses mais quentes do ano, por um período de 20 a 60 dias (Katan & DeVay, 1991), provocando uma elevação da temperatura do solo e destruindo os propágulos dos agentes patogénicos e das infestantes.
Example sentences:
A maior eficiência da solarização do solo em sacos plásticos transparentes sugere sua recomendação na produção de mudas. (ccarevista)
