N2  - Soil solarization as a clean natural physical source was proposed in this trial to control cantaloupe damping-off and wilt diseases affecting cantaloupe (Cucumls malo va, ret/cu/atus) produced for export and local consumption, such diseases in the experimental area at Qena governorate. Isna region In upper Egypt caused by pathogenic soilborne fungi mainly Fusarium spp. and Rhizoctonia solani. In this soil solarization experiment to control these pathogens, three types of polyethylene (PE)  plastic sheets were used as soil mulchi~ for about 7 weeks during summer (JulyAugust-September). started on July 20th
