Flame weeder to be demonstrated at field day
At Iowa State University near Ames a flame weeder called the Air Curtain will be shown September 12 during the Agronomy and Agricultural Field Day at the Research Center seven miles west of the campus on Highway 30. Developed by William F. Lalor and Wesley Buchele, the device uses an air curtain to lift leaves above the LP gas flame, keeping heat from contacting leaves while metal burner plates compress tall weeds into a tight mass near the ground for focused control. Exhausts are drawn away by a chimney overhead.
