Due to the fact that weevil lay eggs all winter, flaming is normally done in late winter or early spring, just before or during greenup. Flaming usually takes between 20 and 30 gallons of propane per acres, depending on the outside temperature when flaming. A second application , if necessary, immediately following the first cutting. This will not hurt the alfalfa but may delay the second cutting by a few days.

Flame Engineering's Patented liquid propane spray process was developed in the 1960's and still works today. By directing the spray at ground level, all plants and insects are subjected to high temperature thus burning out old growth, making way for new and eliminating weevils. It takes just a split second to kill weeds, grasses and insects. Tall stubble will, however, require slower ground speeds and higher pressures.

Red Dragon Alfalfa Flamers are Safe and Easy to Use. Flamers are designed to skid behind the tank cart (tank and cart are not included) and come with either electronic solenoid or pull valve allowing the operator control of the liquid spray from the drivers seat. Each unit flames a 12' swath – to connect two or more, call for advisement on pressures, ground speeds and capabilities.
