Abstrakt
Physical methods of weed control as
solarization, mulching, use of electricity, steam
and flame are now an alternative in the organically grown crop. Flame weeder already has a wide
range of practical use
,
particularly in the cultivation of vegetables in alternative form without any
chemical
treatment. Compared to chemical spraying, the use of flame weeder is more expensive,
but we can compensate the costs by the added value of bioproducts. The issue of costs affects the
wider use of the method in practice, but it may be offset by increased e
fficiency of weed control.
The correct parameters of flame weeder, such as burner angle, burner height, the gas pressure,
speed of weeder as well as the growth stage of the weed, weed species, climate conditions etc.,
can increase the effectiveness of weed
control. Field and laboratory tests carried out in Canada
and Slovakia were aimed at verifying the influence of parameters on the effectiveness of flame
weed control.
