This investigation was designed to determine the effect of organic fertilizer, soil solarization and Bio-fertilization with vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) on plant growth, yield and quality of pepper fruit and to control soil-borne fungi and weed seed. Solarization combined with chicken manure increased maximum soil surface temperature 3.0 C than solarized treatment alone as average of both seasons. Solarization 100% reduced the emergence of weeds, by killing or inhibiting the germination from the upper 15 cm. Solarization treatment significantly increased number of infected roots by...
