On May 12th Stephen Jelley, Global Head of Sales for RootWave, demonstrated the potential of using electrical treatment as a means of controlling perennial weeds at one of our Meadow Maker sites.

RootWave’s Electricide technology produces a 5000V charge which boils weeds from the root upwards. The technology is relatively new but advancing all the time and it offers an alternative, chemical free means of weed control.

Trials are ongoing with ADAS, Environment Agency and the Soil Association and new attachments and set ups are constantly being developed to meet various needs.
