A Review on the Mechanism of Soil Flame Disinfection and the Precise Control Technology of the Device

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Soil disinfection is of great significance in reducing soil pests and weeds, overcoming the problem of crop continuous cropping obstacles, and ensuring the quality and safety of agricultural products. Soil flame disinfection technology, as a supplementary soil disinfection method that can be incorporated into an integrated plant protection system, has attracted much attention in recent years due to its characteristics of low resistance, greenness, environmental friendliness, and high efficiency. However, soil flame disinfection can also have a certain impact on soil organic matter and microbial communities, which is a core challenge that limits the promotion of flame disinfection technology. Clarifying the mechanism and temperature distribution of flame disinfection, accurately controlling flame disinfection parameters, can not only kill harmful organisms in soil, but also minimize damage to soil organic matter and microbial communities is the current research focus. This paper presents a comprehensive summary and discussion of the research progress regarding the mechanism of soil flame disinfection technology, the distribution of temperature fields, and the precise control technology for disinfection machines. It thoroughly elaborates on the efficacy of flame in eliminating typical soil-borne diseases and pests, the destructive impact of flame on soil organic matter and beneficial microbial communities, as well as the current status of research and development on soil flame disinfection devices. Additionally, it explores the pressing technical challenges that remain to be addressed. The article then discusses the future market prospects of soil flame disinfection equipment, focusing on key technological breakthroughs and opportunities, providing theoretical support for the next research, optimization and promotion of soil flame disinfection technology.
