SIVAL de Bronze: NOVAXI presents the RootWave systemic electric weeder

Description

Chemical-free weed eradication with RootWave systemic electric weed controlA generator produces electricity via the PTO.This electricity is used on weeds present on the ground in contact with electrodes, targeting root cellsThese electrodes are sized and quantified to work only the crop inter-rows, identical to what a weeder doesThese electrodes are mounted on camera-guided Garford weeders, in place of the soil-working shares, so that they can be guided to eradicate weeds in the inter-rows, without moving the soilThe biology of the soil is preserved, with no effect on fauna, nematodes, bacteria or fungi...The generator produces 60kw of maximum power, in alternating current, at a rate of ...

Chemical-free weed eradication with RootWave systemic electric weed controlA generator produces electricity via the PTO.This electricity is used on weeds present on the ground in contact with electrodes, targeting root cellsThese electrodes are sized and quantified to work only the crop inter-rows, identical to what a weeder doesThese electrodes are mounted on camera-guided Garford weeders, in place of the soil-working shares, so that they can be guided to eradicate weeds in the inter-rows, without moving the soilThe biology of the soil is preserved, with no effect on fauna, nematodes, bacteria or fungi...The generator produces 60kw of maximum AC power at 18.At these power levels and frequencies, ROOT WAVE has been designed with user safety in mind, and the system is much safer than direct current with regard to the risk of heart attack in the event of contact with the electrodes.Very good operating factor, as the electricity is produced to be used as it is, drastically limiting energy losses.More than 15 patents in several families, covering these principles and technologies.
