Wipe out pasture weeds with ease

摘要

Rachael Porter looks at a low-cost Kiwi method of controlling weeds which is proving popular this side of the world. Forget hand spraying weeds: they can be controlled selectively and economically, without damaging grassland - or your back - according to the manufacturers of a Kiwi weed wiping system. Developed for low cost New Zealand dairy systems, the Rotowiper allows UK producers to make a 90% saving on blanket spraying of grassland (depending on the chemical being used) and land infested withweeds such as docks, thistles and bracken can be quickly and economically reclaimed, says the manufacturer BESS Engineering.
