Thermal method to control dangerous weeds
Cereal Research Communications, 2007We got useful information in accordance with dangerous weed species and about sunflower achenes how to control the mentioned seeds with the use of flame weeder. Flamed sunflower achenes germination was 92% at 3,5km/h; 88% at 3km/h; 85% at 2,5km/h and 80% at 2km/h speed. On the basis of our opinion the effect of on sunflower stubble applied weed flaming

Weed Control Using an Enclosed Thermal Heating Apparatus
Weed Technology, 2012Weed control by heat or flaming typically uses flames to burn small weeds, directed away from desired crops. This research studied an enclosed flaming system for weed control before turfgrass establishment. Field research trials were conducted to explore the efficacy of a PL-8750 flame sanitizer at two application timings.

Thermal weed control in Conservation Agriculture
The pursuit of sustainable agriculture has elevated the importance of Conservation Agriculture (CA) systems, which emphasize minimal soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and maximum biodiversity/crop rotations. Traditional weed control methods, often reliant on chemical herbicides, face increasing scrutiny due to environmental and health concerns ...Bernhard Streit, Martin V. Bauer

Thermal weed control in strawberry
2008Weed control with herbicides is impossible in perennial organic agricultural systems. Alternatively, in these systems, weeds can be destroyed mechanically, thermally or by mulching with a plastic film, to minimize negative weed influence, but not to exterminate all of them. Thermal weed control requires knowledge of the plants' thermal sensitivity.

Effectiveness of Hot Water, Infrared and Open Flame Thermal Units for Controlling Weeds
Biological Agriculture & Horticulture, 2007thermal weeding in eastern canadian agriculture is relatively new and being considered as a viable tool in organic food production. hot water (hw), infrared (ir) and open flame (of) thermal units were compared in terms of energy efficiency and effectiveness (percentage of weeds killed). the units were operated at ground speeds of 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 km h -

Comparison of flaming and infrared radiation techniques for thermal weed control
Weed Research, 1998The effectiveness of two types of thermal weeder was evaluated in field experiments on Sinapis alba L. as the test species. Both thermal weeders used propane combustion to provide heat from either a covered flamer or an infrared radiator. The flamer showed better performance than the infrared radiator on plants at the four‐leaf stage, but the opposite ...

Infrared Radiometry for Measuring Plant Leaf Temperature during Thermal Weed Control Treatment
Biosystems Engineering, 2003Abstract One side of a plant leaf was exposed to liquefied petroleum gas flames, while the temperature of the other side was measured continuously with an imaging infrared radiometer. Temperature histories of leaves and the performance of the measuring system were studied by flaming over 200 leaves and recording the measurements for off-line analysis.

Performance Evaluation of Thermal Weeder for Weed Control in Greenhouses
Muthanna Journal for Agricultural SciencesAn experiment was carried out in one of the greenhouses at the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences –University of Baghdad /Al-Jadriyah during the Winter season of 2024. The experiment aimed to evaluate the performance of a thermal weeder for weed control in greenhouses. The experiment was designed using a randomized complete block design (RCBD)

Effect of thermal and mechanical weed control on garlic.
2011Vessalico is a small village close to Imperia (Liguria, Italy), where garlic is a typical crop. The garlic of Vessalico is one of the most traditional and top quality foods in Italy. A study was carried out on the possibility of introducing a mechanization chain to solve the main agronomic problems of garlic cultivation in this area, such as planting ...

Flaming and Burning as Thermal Weed Control Methods: A Review
2017An important part of globalpesticide consumption consists of herbicides. But, due to increasing pesticidecosts, concerns about pesticides’ risks on environment, increasing interest toorganic farming, increasing resistance of weeds to herbicides, scientists aresearching alternatives to herbicides.
