Chemical-Free Control
Solar heat kills pests and weeds for organic farming.
Soil Sterilization
Heats soil to 60°C for healthier crop establishment.
Reusable Design
UV-stabilized film for multiple solarisation cycles.
Transparent UV-stabilized film for soil sterilization using solar energy
Solarisation Film is a transparent, UV-stabilized 7-layer film that captures and retains solar heat within the soil, raising temperatures to levels that destroy harmful pathogens, weeds, nematodes, and fungi—offering an eco-friendly alternative to chemical fumigation.
- Construction: 7-layer co-extruded, high-clarity polyethylene film
- Thickness: 25–50 µm (custom sizes available)
- Color: Transparent, high light transmission
- UV Life: 700 Kly (approx. 1–2 years field life)
- Technology: Engineered to provide uniform soil heating and moisture retention
How it works
Solar energy is trapped beneath the film, creating a greenhouse effect that increases soil temperature to 50–60°C. This sustained heat kills soil-borne pests and pathogens, leaving the soil clean and ready for planting.
Applications
- Pre-plant soil disinfection in vegetable and flower nurseries
- Organic and protected cultivation systems
- Replacement for chemical soil sterilants
Advantages
- Eliminates weeds, nematodes, fungi, and pathogens naturally
- No chemical residue—safe for organic cultivation
- Improves soil structure and microbial balance
- Simple and economical field application
Installation Tip: Lay film tightly on moist, well-prepared soil and seal the edges. Keep in place for 4–6 weeks of sun exposure for best results.
