How to use superheated steam as an alternative to glyphosate

We have developed a sustainable method of weed control that is not only an alternative to glyphosate, but replaces the use of all chemical pesticides. This method is known as soil pasteurization with superheated steam. Our low pressure steam boilers produce superheated steam, which is a dry steam, that penetrates easily into your growth medium. The steaming will destroy weeds and seeds, while leaving the soil structure intact. The superheated steam kills the weeds and the present seeds by fast heating of the soil up to 75 to 80 degrees Celsius, and maintaining this temperature for 30 minutes. After this process the soil has to cool down and is ready for planting. The soil has been “reset” and your new planting gets a fresh start. One of the biggest benefits of soil steam sterilization as an alternative to glyphosate, is that it is completely pest-free, environmentally friendly, a truly sustainable way to give your crops a great head start. Depending on the application you have in mind, there are various mobile steam boilers available for use in the open field or greenhouse.
