Who is regarded as the father of soil solarization?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
Katan is regarded as the father of soil solarization.
Soil solarization is a hydrothermal process of disinfecting the soil of pests, accomplished by solar power and is relatively a new soil disinfestation method, first described in extensive scientific detail by Katan in 1976.
It is a non-chemical environmentally friendly method for controlling pests using solar power to increase the soil temperature to levels at which many soil-borne plant pathogens will be killed or greatly weakened.
