Cost of herbicide-free Foamstream gets lower still

“We purchased a Foamstream M1200 in the spring of 2018. We used it through the season and found that the weed kill results we got were better than when using green, class 11 pesticides and its use doesn’t require advanced sign posting like a pesticide. From field observations, the Foamstream treated weeds did not regrow as quickly as the pesticide treated ones and new seeds did not tend to germinate after application. This unit is easy to use and increased our efficiency in weed management.”

When it comes to weed control, the search for a herbicide-free solution has become increasingly commonplace in the UK.

However, one of the biggest inhibitors to adopting these alternative technologies has been the perceived high-cost when compared to conventional chemical methods, like glyphosate.

A more thorough and holistic examination of these practices, however, shows that this comparison is misplaced.

Weedingtech’s Foamstream solution offers the benefit of providing instant results, multi-functional options beyond just weed control, and the ability to be used in all but the most extreme weather conditions, in the most sensitive of environments. This means labour can be planned effectively and efficiently, avoiding costly downtime and unused resources.

Foamstream’s safe credentials also mean it can be used freely around people and animals, in any place and at any time. This eliminates the need for certain areas to be treated separately or manually, as is often the case with conventional chemicals.

Furthermore, in 2018 Foamstream developed improvements to its operating methods that achieve as much as a 50% reduction in water consumption and a further 33% increase in foam efficiency.

As well as being a cost-effective alternative, the efforts made by users to incorporate a herbicide-free approach to weed control will also improve, not only the clients perception, but also the public perception of their working methods and CSR commitments too.

So now the economic argument for using Foamstream joins the many others in making it a very compelling alternative to traditional chemical methods.
