A soil disinfector comprising an insulating endless belt with at least one row of positive electrodes and at least one row of negative electrodes mounted on the endless belt. The electrodes are mounted with their heads on the inside of the belt and their bodies pointing outward from the belt, the electrodes being configured to penetrate the soil. The electrodes take their power from a power source, the power source being connected to the electrodes via sets of rows of rollers and sets of rows of stationary conductive contact plates, at least one set of each being positive and at least one set of each being negative. The soil disinfector also has sensors to detect soil conditions and a processor to alter power applied to the soil based on the soil conditions.
