Kersten Electric Weedkilling Lance

Overview

Introducing Kersten Electric Weeder, a cutting-edge solution for targeting and eliminating invasive weeds using electricity.

The Kersten Electric Weed Killer system is based on electrophysical technology. The device generates a very high current pulse, thus eliminating unwanted plants. The power module supplies the necessary high voltage required for this purpose and this current flows via the lance into the plant, then into the subsoil. The circuit is closed again via the current return earth spike, which is plugged into the ground via another cable. The energy boils away the water inside of the plant and thus destroys the plant structure.

The result:
a) The chlorophyll of the plant is immediately damaged
b) The cells are irreversibly destroyed and die off
c) The water supply to the cells is interrupted
d) The plant dries out

Plants with high water content and, compared to their leaf mass, with few stems and roots require little energy and are easy to treat. Very dense and woody wild weeds or very large plants require a lot of energy. In these cases, methods combined with mowing, for example, achieve the best results, since the young new shoots carry a particularly large amount of water and thus the current flows even better into the plant. Plants with larger rootstocks or rhizomes are severely weakened. For complete destruction they must be treated several times.

Operation is straightforward: simply press both yellow buttons on the handle, target and treat unwanted weeds instantly. There is no trigger time or waiting period, thanks to the power generator.

Features

Versatility

Kersten Electric Weed Killer offers high versatility in both operation location and timing. With no chemical or hazardous residues involved, it is ideal for use near water or in sensitive habitats. Unlike other methods that are affected by weather conditions like wind or rain, it remains effective regardless of external influences, making it a superior option for weed control.

Environmentally Friendly

Kersten Electric Weed Killer’s electrophysical technology targets only the weeds, leaving living organisms and soil nutrients unharmed. This approach helps maintain healthy soil microbiology while keeping the area free of weeds. It is particularly effective for treating Japanese Knotweed, which traditionally requires disruptive digging. RootWave eliminates the need for digging, preserving soil health and saving time and effort.

Safety

Safety is a top priority. The system includes multiple safety features such as two-point operation, fuse protection on ground plugs, continuous safety checks, and an emergency stop function on both the lance and the unit. These features ensure the safety of both operators and pedestrians at all times.

Affordability

Kersten Electric Weed Killer is highly cost-effective, using a power generator that employs an energy-efficient alternating-current method to target weeds directly. A single can of fuel powers the machine for an entire day. According to the company, weed control costs only £55-120 per hectare, making it more affordable than chemical methods.

Kersten Electric Weed Killer provides a reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution for weed control, ensuring a safe and weed-free environment.
