Solarization is a simple, safe, and effective method that has been used with field, vegetable, and flower crops. It can be combined with organic soil amendments or reduced rates of pesticide application for greater effectiveness. The plastic sheets should be left in place for 4 to 8 weeks to allow the soil to heat to the greatest depth possible.
