Soil solarization in chilli nursery

For chilli nursery, April-May is a suitable time for soil solarization. As the temperature rises up to 40 ºC at this time.
Spread transparent polythene of 200 gauges (50 Micron) on the whole nursery area for about 5-6 weeks.
The margin of the polythene should be covered by wet soil (compressed mud) to check the entry of air.
After 5-6 weeks remove the polythene sheet.
