Hameed, M. Aslam] Seven weeks solarization of irrigated soil raised its temperature by 11.5°C over non-solarized soil at 10 cm depth and effectively controlled weeds (98.5%), stalk borer (8.9%) and stalk rot disease (69.1%) in corn. Solarization also reduced symptoms of Fusarium moniliforme and Macrophomina phaseolina significantly by 64.2% and 78.4%, respectively, and completely controlled M. phaseolina in corn cultivars, viz. Pool-10, Shaheen and Gauher. Whereas symptoms of F. moniliforme were observed in these cultivars, Fusarium graminearum was not observed except in two cultivars, Shaheen and Akbar. Growth of crop planted in solarized plots was better and it yielded almost one to three times more grains in cultivars under test. Soil analysis immediately following solarization revealed that essential elements were readily available in simpler forms, which may have increased pest resistance and reduced stalk breakage.
