Imagine: A machine that kills soil diseases andpests with electromagnetic rays. It could be a solution for growers who cultivate in soil as gas prices make steaming shockingly expen-sive. It's funny where warming up a bowl of soup in the microwave canlead to. The idea of a 'super microwave oven' was born four years ago when Leen van der Hoek, a freesia breeder from Maasdijk, the Netherlands, was heat-ing up a bowl of soup in his microwave oven. Because he is selecting freesia varieties that are resistant to soil diseases and pests he needs both contaminated and clean soil to run trials soil. At that moment he decided to sterilise a dish of contaminated soil in his ordinary domestic microwave oven. And trials carried out later on that soil showed that the freesias were unaffected by diseases or pests in the soil.
