Flaming is a great way to eliminate weeds!
Great for sterile seed sed & pre-emergent flaming. A great addition in the organic farmers’ toolbox for reducing weeding costs for slow emerging direct seeded crops such as carrots, parsnip, cilantro, beets. Vegetables can be sown in a week-old seedbed and flaming is done 1 or 2 days prior to crop emergence, leaving 10-15 days for weeds to emerge before flaming.
Red Dragon® Vegetable Bed Flamers offer producers many options for weed control while reducing or eliminating herbicide usage. Flamers burn clean, efficient propane, so there is no residue, run-off, or contamination to worry about. Vegetable bed flamers use 44-91 liters of propane per hectare. Flaming can be done pre-emerge and post-emergence and has been proven effective on a wide variety of crops, including corn, onions, garlic, carrots, parsnip, cilantro, beets.
The flamer covers 5ft wide and is to be installed on a tool bar along with the tank for liquid propane.
Using liquid propane makes a more powerful and steady flame than using gaseous propane torches. Liquid propane prevents tank freezing since gas evaporation occurs in the hot burner instead of the inside the tank, which does not lead to pressure drop inside the tank.
