Flame weeding demonstration
Flown by Ashley Adair, Purdue Extension Organic Agriculture Specialist
Flame weeding is a practice that organic farmers can use to control grass and broadleaf weeds in corn. In this case, corn was flame-weeded around growth stage V6. Multiple passes through the field were needed due to a number of factors, including calibration of equipment and rain. Each burner can produce somewhere between 500,000 and 1,000,000 BTUs. Flame weeding may look scary at first, but corn plants recover and still produce marketable grain.
