Torsion weeder

The torsion weeder is easy to mount on existing inter-row cultivators, and consists of two flexible tines tilted towards each other, which undercut weeds close to the crop row with a vibrating and dragging movement. The intensity of the process is adjusted by changing the working depth and position of the tines vis-à-vis the ground surface.
Because of its simple design, this mechanical weeder is relatively inexpensive.

All this, as well as the good test results in agriculture, 
horticulture, arboriculture, and ornamental plant cultivation and the tobacco industry, make the torsion weeder a very interesting tool for improving in-row weed control. A demonstrative test involving various crops also showed excellent results. A single cultivation with the torsion weeder reduced the proliferation of weeds by 85%.

Observations approximately one week after cultivation also showed that fewer weeds had re-emerged in the row cultivated with the torsion weeder. This indicates that more intensive in-row weed control has a positive effect on weed pressure.

Operation

The torsion weeder has two flexible tines on each side of the crop row. The tines are slightly tilted so that they drag along the crop row. The driving speed pushes the tines outwards to the sides, so that they do not damage the crop. The vibrating tines, which go approximately two centimetres deep, break up the soil and uproot the weeds.
