A study has shown that RootWave’s patented 18 kHz electrical weed control is safer than 50Hz or DC devices, by orders of magnitude. In 1891, Jacques-Arsene d’Arsonval found that using high frequency alternating electric current significantly reduced the likelihood of serious injury from electric shock. The study on RootWave’s technology built on this and undertook […]
Independent trials of our tractor-powered eWeeder in orchards, show that RootWave delivers full control of weeds.
Best Companies has rated RootWave as the 13th best company to work for in UK construction and engineering.
