This herbicide-free, biodegradable foam kills weeds without polluting

Insects are disappearing at an alarming rate, and much of the blame lies with the herbicides and pesticides used on crops.

The herbicides are necessary to have healthy harvests and to keep the weeds, but they have a high ecological cost. A British company called Weedingtech has invented foam stream, a biodegradable foam without herbicidesbut just as effective against weeds.

It is already used by many companies and public parks in the UK, to kill weeds no herbicides or fungicides. These products pollute, we become intoxicated by the remains that remain in the food. and they also kill other types of plants, and insects.

foam stream claims to be as effective as agrochemicals toxic, but without footprint for the environment.

Foamstream kills weeds without herbicides

Decades ago, before the advent of industrial chemical pesticides, to kill weeds was used vaporeither Hot water. The problem is that the water touched the plant and in seconds it lost temperature, upon contact with the cold air. So the results were not very effective.

weedingtech has started from that idea, which is not bad in essence, and has improved it. What she has done is use natural products to insulate the heat from air. So hot water or steam remain in contact with the plant longerachieving his goal of killing her.

To create foam streamWeedingtech uses different plant oils and sugars. For example, one blend uses corn, wheat, potatoes, canola oil, and coconut oil. A different one uses olive oil. They use one or the other depending on the type of bad weed that you want to eradicate.

To use it, foam stream mixed with hot water, forming a foam, as can be seen in the opening photo of the news. The compound holds the heat long enough to kill the plant.

It is biodegradable and harmless, so it can be used even when children and pets are around.

A independent study carried out by the Agricultural University of Athens has verified that this natural herbicide has an efficacy of between 81 and 96%at the same level as toxic chemicals and pollutants.

foam streamthe biodegradable foam that kills the weeds without polluting, it is being a great success in the United Kingdom. Replace the herbicides toxic for others innocuous, has many advantages for the environment and health.
