E-HERB-RLP - Implementation of the Electroherb-procedure into the Rlp. agriculture for the environmental improvement of cultivation methods
The aim is to reduce herbicide use in agriculture. This project “E-HERB-RLP” investigate the use of Electroherb-procedure in agriculture, potato-, wine cultivation and orcharding, to obtain an alternative, practically and environmental-friendly way for weed control in the Rhineland-Palatinate agriculture. Main focuses of the study are the induction of shell strength in early potato cultivation; keep tree rows free of vegetation and managing weed control without Glyphosat, always in consideration of the effects on soil life.
Weed control with electricity is a promising technology to respond to the increasing demands on agriculture. Plants, getting in contact with the high frequent electricity are dying without any use of herbicides or tillage. The Electroherb-procedure can be used in nearly every crop. The aim of the study is to investigate the efficiency of the Electroherb-procedure in different applications and to develop promising areas of use for the introduction in agricultural practice.
Results and the Final report will be found here, as soon as the project is completed.
