Title: THE POTENTIAL OF SOIL SOLARIZATION TO CONTROL VERTICILLIUM DAHLIAE IN OKLAHOMA
Abstract: In the late summer of 1982 clear plastic mulch was used to solarize field plots known to contain a natural infestation of Verticillium dahliae. Soil temperatures exceeding 37 C were achieved and maintained in the solarized plots to a depth of at least 15 cm for 9-10 hr. Post-solarization assay for microsclerotia of Verticillium dahliae indicated an absence or reduction of these propagules in the solarized treatments compared to pretreatment levels.
