How superheated steam is a great alternative to  metam sodium

Soil steaming is considered one of the most effective ways to control unwanted soil diseases and soil fatigue. The  superheated (dry) steam can be applied using a steam sheet or steam hood, depending how deep you need to steam. The steam heats up the soil to 75 – 80 degrees Celsius and by maintaining this temperature for 30 minutes the process of sterilization takes place. One of the biggest benefits of steam as an alternative for metam sodium, is that it is completely pest-free, environmentally friendly, a truly sustainable way to give your crops a great head start. Depending on the application you have in mind, there are various types of low pressure mobile steam boilers available for use in greenhouses or in  open field.
