John,
Don't know exactly, but literature I have from the University of
California says that soil solarization may be partially effective in
cooler areas if treatment occurs during periods of highest air
temperatures and when skies are clear. However, pest control may not
extend as deeply into the soil as in areas of higher temperatures, and
some organisms may not be controlled.
