Agricultural & Horticultural Uses

KBL 1.7 in use on spinach debris

Residues of products in fresh produce will be illegal after December 2003. As a result growers are facing greatly increased financial pressure from crop losses due to the increases in the prevalence of diseases such as sclerotinia, mildew and rhizoctonia.

ADAS and DEFRA are advising meticulous care in crop management techniques such as hygiene, clean glasshouses and clean soil.

Disease breeds on dead and decaying plant material, which, if not destroyed will surely spread from one crop to the next. By using a burner the debris is disintegrated and also any fungal or disease spores which are resting on the surface are destroyed. This then leaves a sterile seed bed which minimizes the disease pressure on the following crop.

The Thermoweed Process can be applied to the following applications:

Organic Weed Control, Glasshouses, Herbs & Salads, Potatoes and Orchards.
