Biosolarization is an alternative technology to soil fumigation used in agriculture. It is closely related to biofumigation and soil solarization , or the use of solar power to control nematodes , bacteria , fungi and other pests that damage crops. [ 1 ]
Soil solarization 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. [1] Soil solarization is used in warm climates on a relatively small scale in gardens and organic farms.
Erosion control is the practice of preventing or controlling wind or water erosion in agriculture, land development, coastal areas, river banks and construction. Effective erosion controls handle surface runoff and are important techniques in preventing water pollution , soil loss , wildlife habitat loss and human property loss.
A Cellular Confinement System when infilled with compacted soil creates a new composite entity that possesses enhanced mechanical and geotechnical properties. [34] When the soil contained within a CCS is subjected to pressure, as in the case of a load support application, it causes lateral stresses on perimeter cell walls.
The final outcome is a nutrient-rich, soil-like substance that can be applied directly onto the ground as a fertilizer or incorporated into soil composition. [ 30 ] The Halton Region , in Ontario, Canada, has introduced a Biosolids Recycling Program where Biosolids are extracted from Halton's 7 wastewater treatment facilities and are recycled ...
The most effective known method for erosion prevention is to increase vegetative cover on the land, which helps prevent both wind and water erosion. [114] Terracing is an extremely effective means of erosion control, which has been practiced for thousands of years by people all over the world. [115]
