Abstract:
A finger-hoe tool for a soil-tilling device, which has at least one finger, and a method for mechanical control of weeds in row crops make possible an input of loose materials into the row or a discharge of loose materials from the row, because the at least one finger has at least one device for collection and/or removal of the loose materials (e.g. earth, sand, stones), whereby not only the weakly rooted weeds but also more strongly rooted weeds can be controlled.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for mechanical control of weeds in row crops by means of a soil-tilling device, especially a finger hoe, provided with at least one finger-hoe tool ( 14 ) provided with an axis of rotation ( 1 ),\n wherein the finger-hoe tool ( 14 ) is provided with a star wheel ( 5 ), which can be driven by a soil drive element ( 7 ) provided with an axis of rotation and which is provided with several fingers ( 4 ), wherein the star wheel ( 5 ) is provided with an upper side turned away from the soil and an underside turned toward the soil, and wherein the axis of rotation ( 1 ) of the finger-hoe tool ( 14 ) corresponds to the axis of rotation of the soil drive element ( 7 ) and wherein at least one finger ( 4 ) is provided with at least one means for collection and/or removal of loose materials, whereby an input of loose materials into the row or a discharge of loose materials from the row is made possible depending on device setting of the soil-tilling device, wherein a means for collection and/or removal of loose materials is disposed on the upper side of the star wheel ( 5 ), the underside of the star wheel ( 5 ) or laterally relative to the star wheel ( 5 ) or several means for collection and/or removal of loose materials are disposed on the upper side of the star wheel ( 5 ), the underside of the star wheel ( 5 ) and/or laterally relative to the star wheel ( 5 ).
