Abstract. The study examines the impact of various soil treatment methods, including steam and microwave treatment, on weed suppression, corn growth, and yield. An experiment was conducted using four types of soil treatment, and an analysis of plant growth and weed presence at different stages of development was performed. It was demonstrated that microwave treatment effectively suppresses weeds, improves conditions for crop growth, and increases yield. The results confirm the potential of microwave treatment as an environmentally safe and efficient method for soil management in agriculture.
