Conceptual design of a thermal weed control machine [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2019 : The great difficulty for family farmers who produce food organically is the control of weeds without using chemical products. One possibility for the management is the use of heat in the sense of coagulating the protoplasm in leaves and stem cells ...

A Concept of a Compact and Inexpensive Device for Controlling Weeds with Laser Beams
Agronomy, 2020 A prototype of a relatively cheap laser-based weeding device was developed and tested on couch grass (Elytrigia repens (L.) Desv. ex Nevski) mixed with tomatoes. Three types of laser were used (0.3 W, 1 W, and 5 W).

Experimental determination of lethal doses of heat in thermal weed control [PDF]
Research in Agricultural Engineering, 2015 Thermal weed control performed by weeders working on physical principles is already commonly used on farms dealing with bioproducts. It helps to reduce strenuous human labour and to effectively control weeds and, to some extent, pests and diseases ...

Energy thresholds for mid-infrared thermal control of weed seeds and plants
Weed TechnologyNonchemical weed management is essential for advancing integrated weed management systems. Mid infrared (MIR) radiation (3 to 50 µm) is a promising approach for heat-based thermal weed control with minimal fire risk. The lethal MIR energy requirement may

Development of a standard test procedure for devices on thermal weed control
Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2016 In contrast to the standard evaluation of the efficacy of pesticides and the testing of spraying equipment there are no comparable testing procedure for equipment of thermal weed control.
