Kenneth F. Baker and William H. Fuller

Hilgardia, 1976, vol. 44, issue 4

Abstract: Aerated steam and steam are commonly used for treating soil in the glasshouse, nursery, and mushroom industries to control soil-borne plant pathogens. In treating soil in containers there is an important and disturbing tendency for the soil next to the container sides to attain the desired temperature more rapidly than does that in the central mass.
