Flame Weeding

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
