Destruction of invasive plants

Principle of destroying invasive plants with a low-pressure steam generator

The use of steam to destroy plants complies with environmental and ecological standards.

The targeted destruction of invasive plants using only steam is an ideal alternative to chemical products. Soil infected with invasive plants, such as Japanese knotweed or others, is heated to a temperature of 85-95°C using steam treatment.
