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

augsnes solarizācija


Definition from ARN:
Augsnes solarizācija ir metode, kas dobes, kas ir apūdeņotas un sagatavotas sējai, pārsedz ar plēvi, kas kopā ar intensīvu sauli, veicina dziļumā esošā siltuma atbrīvošanos (izdalīšanos), kas iznīcina nezāles un to sēklas, padarot dobes gatavas sējai.

Definition from own experience or research:
Esmu saskaries ar šo terminu praktiski tulkojot, augsnes zinātnieki lieto abus - solarizācija (anglicisms!!!) vai izsauļošana.

Example sentence(s):
  • Jāatceras, ka jāņem vērā koku augstums, lai viens otru nenoēnotu. Dārzam būtiska ir izsauļošana. - www.viss.lv
