A CONTINUOUS PLASTIC FILM COVERING AND WELDING MACHINE FOR SOIL SOLARIZATION* |

| Abstract:
A semi-commercial machine has been developed for the continuous spreading and welding of polyethylene sheeting for soil solarization. A continuous field cover improves treatment efficiency due to its long term control effect and by nullifying the "border effect" which occurs with conventional strip treatment. The mulch lasts 6–8 weeks under windy field conditions. | |
