Hey mate here's your answer,
STEAM STERILISATION :-
Soil steam sterilization (soil steaming) is a farming technique that sterilizes soilwith steam in open fields or greenhouses. Pests of plant cultures such as weeds, bacteria, fungi and viruses are killed through induced hot steam which causes vital cellular proteins to unfold. Biologically, the method is considered a partial disinfection. Important heat-resistant, spore-forming bacteria can survive and revitalize the soil after cooling down. Soil fatigue can be cured through the release of nutritive substances blocked within the soil. Steaming leads to a better starting position, quicker growth and strengthened resistance against plant disease and pests. Today, the application of hot steam is considered the best and most effective way to disinfect sick soil, potting soil and compost. It is being used as an alternative to bromomethane, whose production and use was curtailed by the Montreal Protocol. "Steam effectively kills pathogens by heating the soil to levels that cause protein coagulation or enzyme inactivation."[1]
Benefits of soil steaming :-
Soil sterilization provides secure and quick relief of soils from substances and organisms harmful to plants such as:
1) Bacteria
2) Viruses
3) Fungi
4) Nematodes and
5) Other Pests
Further positive effects are:
All weed and weed seeds are killed[2]Significant increase of crop yieldsRelief from soil fatigue through activation of chemical – biological reactions [3]Blocked nutritive substances in the soil are tapped and made available for plantsAlternative to Methyl Bromide and other critical chemicals in agriculture.

Steam sterilization can be defined as the process of sterilization using moisture and high temperature.
Explanation:
Sterilization has some negative impact on the soil microorganism and seeds whixh further affects the plant growth. seed germination is defined as the process of formation of mature plant from plant seed and ovary.
Steam sterilization damages chemical properties of soil and affects seed health.
