the plant is still young.
•
The success of actions using the device
will not be immediately visible.
•
Depending on the plant type, it may
not respond immediately to the heat for
the recommended exposure time.
- Young, soft-leaved plants are sensi-
tive to the treatment and afterwards
they are no longer viable.
- Hard-leaved grasses are very robust.
They have to be treated more fre-
quently.
- Older plants and plants with hard
leaves, such as thistles, have to be
treated more regularly at 1-2 week
intervals in order to successfully dry
them out.
•
The visible part of the plant can also
be scorched for a longer exposure time
during treatment.
•
Scorching the plants is not absolutely
necessary. Heating them dries out the
leaves and any weeds die.
•
When treating areas filled with roots,
you will have to repeat treatments sev-
eral times in short periods for lasting
success. After this, longer treatment
intervals will suffice.
•
With some weeds, you may have to
repeat the treatment.
