Important things to know about
thermal weed control
Mode of action: In addition to steam and burning the
use with hot water is twenty times as effective due to the
high conductivity. Hot water does not only remove the
plant`s surface but also the root. The plant proteins are
destroyed at a temperature of 42 °C.
Application: 3 to 4 applications are recommended du-
ring the fi rst year. The number of applications during the
second year can be signifi cantly reduced as the plants
are very weak. Visible results are noticed only after a few
days.
Recommendation: The application is most effi cient
if it is effected in the afternoon as the plant is more
vulnerable after the absorption of water. Please start the
applications in the spring as the young and still small
parts of the plants are more sensitive in this season.
Please move the weeddevil slowly over the areas to be
treated and repeat the process after a few days in case
of older plants.
