Abstract
A study was conducted to determine if potting soils could be pasteurized with a typical 1200 watt microwave oven. Microwave radiation times varied from 0 to 6.0 minutes. Preliminary results indicated that "damping-off" diseases could be prevented in tomato seedlings with the use of potting soils pasteurized by microwaves.
