Vogel's Between-Row Wick Weeder
 ✖  |
The new Vogels between-the-row weeder was developed by Paul Vogels, Jr., Kippen, Ontario, under a research grant for Agriculture Canada, the Canadian version of the USDA. Vogels, who builds and sells a variety of innovative wick weeders, hopes to begin marketing his rope wick early this summer.
Vogel's wick weeder consists of a series of skid mounted wicks 3 in. above the ground. Metal skirts along either side of each wick prevent contact with crops. Each row unit on the loader-mounted weeder swings back independently when confronted by rocks or irregular terrain. Vogels says that his rope wick operates effectively at speeds up to 6 mph.
Once on the market, Vogels plans to offer varying row widths and to mount wick bars across the top of rows for total weed control in growing crops. No modification of the tractor loader is required. Individual wick bars can be filled individually or from a central reservoir.
