The video will be a welcome resource for growers considering investing in weed-control equipment and for their advisers. Weeds are one of the most serious challenges to vegetable production, and mechanical weed control is an increasingly important option, especially among organic growers. The machines discussed include more than a dozen different types of cultivation equipment and five flame weeders. Farmers from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont demonstrate the use of each machine, discussing proper setup and adjustment as well as the equipment's suitability for various soils and crops. In the discussion of flame-weeding equipment, farmers address the use of flamers in stale seedbed weed management and in killing weeds between crop rows.
