Basics
- Non-Chemical Weeding via essentially "blanching" the weeds via hot flames + gas around said flame
- Effective yet imprecise, mainly used in between rows
- Looks metal af too which is a plus?
- Often done with Fossil Fuels such as LPG / Propane / CNG etc currently, making this "organic" method not that eco friendly (Re: Greenwashing , grantet least from a NOx / GHG Emissions standpoint, again Sustainability of Agriculture is a complex issue, so broad generalizations (as about everywhere else) tend to not be correct)
- If done with Biogas , RNG , or Syngas based flames, this could be accessible, effective, and eco friendly
Further Research Required On
- Optimal Height of the Torch
- Active Flame / Hot Gas "Scortching" of the Plants
- Can DME , Syngas , or even Hydrogen be used
- Can a Heated Gas ( Nitrogen ), or more likely due to cost effectiveness Heated Air be used? (Would reduce Wildfire Risk and also allow for direct electrical powdered devices via essentally a Hot Air Gun / Hot Air Station being scaled up to a Lifetrac Attachments Scale
- What is the
Internal Links
- Steam Weeding a similar concept, but with hot (or superheated / Dry Steam ? ) steam
