ALTERNATIVE WEED CONTROL: AQUACIDE
Alternative weed control with the AQUACIDE system upholds excellence in sustainable development today because the “active principle” used for phytosanitary treatment is pure water.
The AQUACIDE system uses hot water (without any other additive) applied at a low pressure, causing the cells of the plant to literally burst from thermal shock... Repeated destruction of the cells (3 to 5 times the first year) weakens the plant which in turn diminishes to the point of disappearing altogether.
With over 60 machines operating in France, AQUACIDE has affirmed its reliability and effectiveness.
The advantages of AQUACIDE are the following:
> Autonomous equipment which can be placed in the deck of a heavy truck or trailer
> No special training needed for operators (certification, including the CACES in France, is not required for the use of phytosanitary products)
> Use in any weather, even during rainy periods
> Eco-friendly: the “active principle” is water with no other additives
> Reduced risks of collateral damage (personal injury or property damage) as compressed gas is not used and thanks to the low-pressure treatment phase
> No risk of collateral damage to the environment, such as ground water pollution during treatment or rinsing, due to the nature of the “active principle” used.
