Uruguay has 400 hectares of protected vegetable crops in the north of the country dedicated to early production. In this area, there are two zones where the nematode problems are very important since crops, such as tomatoes and peppers, almost have a ten-month of harvest period. In one zone, soils are heavy, while in other major places soils are sandy loam. In the heavy soil area, methyl bromide has already been phased out. The alternatives used in both locations are soil solarization alone or in combination with metham sodium or with buried chopped corn plant at the mature green corn stage. Solarization is done during thirty days with the greenhouse closed, and this technology is recommended from mid-December to the end of January to get the highest temperatures during the summer. Beneficial organisms like fluorescent Pseudomonas and Bacillus spp. reproduced satisfactorily in plots with the incorporation of organic amendments. @ International Society for Horticultural Science.  aChemical products  aCrop yield  aGreenhouse product  aNematodes  aOrganic amendments  aSoil disinfestation  aSoil solarization1 aMENDOZA, Y.1 aORIHUELA, C.  tActa Horticulturae, December 2005, N°698, p.33-38.
