An effective alternative to glyphosate
Faced with the ban of glyphosate, hot water weeding is the solution to meet the community needs as well as farmers needs. Our weeders are the first choice for an effective solution, simple and durable. In Canada, our references are shown as:
How does it work:
The water is heated to 115/120°C and then sprayed onto the weeds at low pressure. The plant to be treated is then affected by a thermal shock which bursts the chlorophyll part (the photosynthesis process is no longer possible). Burst cells burns the collar then reach the root system, which kills the plants.
Weeding demonstration:
To eliminate weeds, it is possible to use several solutions. They differ, among other things, in terms of their environmental impact, their sustainability and their degree of efficiency. To compare these different weeding methods, here is a table comparing them on the key points of user expectations.
