Flame Weeding for Vegetable Crops (Summary)
Flame Weeding for Vegetable Crops (Summary)
Flame
weeding, a thermal weed control, uses propane gas burners to
produce a carefully controlled and directed flame that briefly
passes over weeds, searing the leaves and causing the weed to
wilt and die. Flame weeding, as a non-chemical weed management
technique, is frequently used by organic farmers. This publication
discusses different strategies for pre-emergent flame weeding
and post-emergent flame weeding, as well as infra-red weed control,
and steam and hot water weed control. Further references, including
sources of information and equipment, are also provided.
