The money and time spent by governments on committees and stewardship schemes would be better used on helping the industry transition to viable alternatives like electrical weed control. It is time for the industry to start looking forward, not backwards. By Andrew Diprose, CEO – RootWave It is difficult to find out exactly how much […]
The European Union has set a goal to reduce the use and risk of hazardous pesticides by 50% by 2030. However, a leaked draft report from the European Parliament shows that the Member leading the revision of the EU’s pesticide framework is pushing for more ambition, advocating for an 80% reduction in the use of […]
It is well known that some weed control methods can negatively impact yield leading to a loss of revenue for farmers. For example, apple farmers can risk yield losses of over 20% with mechanical cultivation due to physical damage caused to tree roots. This can equate to thousands of dollars in lost revenue per hectare […]
Independent trials and analysis of soil samples by soil scientists confirmed that RootWave does not negatively impact the soil or life within the soil. The analysis included population counts of macro and micro-fauna such as earthworms, nematodes, bacteria and fungi. RootWave allows soils to heal and regenerate, whereas residues from herbicides and frequent cultivation from […]
Mother nature is fighting back and weeds are now resistant to the majority of known herbicide modes of action. This problem is accelerating as farmers are dependent on a dwindling choice of herbicides. In addition, regulators are restricting the use of herbicides due to safety concerns. Farmers are concerned they won’t be able to economically […]
Chemical herbicides do not stay where they are sprayed. They leach and drift into the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. They are toxic in nature and can cause chronic health conditions. Safe exposure thresholds are continually being revised down as we learn more about them. They persist in […]
The use of chemical herbicides is restricted to small application windows due to wind, temperature, rainfall, calendar date, crop growth stage and pre-harvest interval. They also can have use limitations due to local environmental restrictions. Mechanical weeding does not work unless soil conditions are just right – not too dry and not too wet – otherwise weeds […]
Farmers incur high operating costs when spraying due to the consumable cost of herbicides. The incremental cost of diesel with RootWave is significantly lower than this cost which offsets the cost of the machine over time. Herbicide prices can be volatile and are likely to increase as new patented formulations are marketed. The operating costs […]
