Microwaves, hot air
The soil is heated by microwaves or hot air (800°C) to an extend that soilborne aggressors are killed.
The soil is covered with a transparent plastic film. The solar radiation heats the soil below whereas the plastic film retains the generated heat. Thereby, the soil is heated at a degree that a part of the pathogens, parasites and weed seeds are killed.
