Reduce Costs and Increase Yield
While steaming has been a proven and effective method for soil disinfection, the lack of appropriate equipment has made it economically unfeasible for large, commercial-scale farms. A revolutionary new, propane-powered Soil Steamer changes that by significantly reducing weed seedling emergence on raised beds while maximizing potential yield of high-value crops without chemicals — ultimately growing healthier food for families.
Weed management from steam by the Soil Steamer for both conventional and organic crops
Customizable design based on each ag producer’s specific crop needs for targeted application of banded steam disinfection
• Yields by controlling disease pressure
• Net income of many vegetable crops
• Crop rotation
• Diameter size of lettuce and carrot crops
• Weed density
• Soilborne pathogens and nematodes
• Hand-weeding labor costs
• Impact of lettuce drop
• Costs, limitations and harm of pesticides
A Solution That Improves Production and Grows Savings
An essential part of agriculture cultivation is the elimination of weeds, pests and soilborne pathogens. While weeds compete with vegetables for nutrients, certain pests can render crops unmarketable. Furthermore, specific weeds and nematodes pose significant threats to crop yield. Using the propane-powered Soil Steamer before planting crops can significantly improve harvests without the use of pesticides.
