Solarisation is an ecological system that disinfects agricultural soils and consists of covering the moist soil with thin, transparent plastic for 4-6 weeks during the period of highest temperature and intensity of solar radiation.
This method controls bacteria, fungi, nematodes and weeds that can negatively affect the soil and improve the quality of the subsequent crop.
To obtain good results with solarisation, certain steps must be followed, such as cleaning the soil, adding manure, abundant irrigation, the use of a transparent plastic with UV treatment and the appropriate duration of the treatment. Among other advantages, we can highlight its low cost and the non-contamination of soil and water sources. Solarisation is really effective in regions with high solar irradiation and high summer temperatures, as is the case in Almeria.
Recommendation, during treatment, the soil should not be used for cultivation for at least one month.
In Grupo Criado y López we are specialists in geotextiles and agricultural plastics.
For the disinfection of the floor, we offer the natural 100 gauge plastic and the disinfection plastic Termo Disol, our most recommended product, whose barrier effect prevents the heat from dissipating, as well as taking advantage of the chemical of the floor when changing from liquid to gaseous, also protecting the cover.
Our Thermo Disol plastic, by withstanding the temperature, reduces disinfection time and increases crop yields.
Farmer, if you want to make a good disinfection, bet for the plastic disinfection Termo Disol of Criado y López, with which you will save in chemical, in time and you will assure the yield of the crop for the next campaign.
