The study was carried out to comparison between of of three controlling treetments,
of soil-borne fungi in greenhouses. The treetments were as follows: An treeted control,
Formalin 3%, soil Solarization + animal manur and solarization for 50 days, and 0 , 5, 10
,15 and 20 cm depth.
This investigation was carried out in a plastic house (350 m² area) located at Tishreen
University in two seasons 2007-2008 and 2008-2009, to study the effect of soil solarization
in soil borne fungi in greenhouse. With four treatments: the control
treatment,
Soilsolarization: 30, 40, and 50 days, and 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 cm depth. The solarized soil
covered with transparent polyethylene.
Root rot is considered one of the serious widely spread tomato diseases in
plastic houses culture of Syria. Soil solarization, using transparent polyethylene
(PE) covering, was applied during July and August (١٩٩٤-١٩٩٦) in Tartoos
governorate for
controlling soilborne pathogenic fungi. Results indicated that,
native fungal populations in covered moist soil supplied with or without sulfur
were significantly reduced in comparison with the uncovered treatment.
