With Satusteam©, you can commence vegetation management earlier in spring, at first germination. The unique combination of saturated steam and boiling water, that we call Satusteam©, destroys young weeds on contact. There is a noticeable control of the seed bank. Seeds will be denatured and die; or be germinated and sprout to be destroyed in the next treatment, this season. You’ll experience the satisfaction of less weed pressure from 1 year to the next.
The combination of adding heat and water to the soil surface germinates some species in the seed bank.
Seeds react differently. Some species of seeds can’t tolerate the heat and are denatured, they die and decay in the soil, whilst others love it, as it splits the hard seed coat and allows their first embryonic roots and shoots to emerge. Either way, it’s a bonus. The bonus is that we can now deplete the seed bank. We can control the next generation of weeds without harsh pre-emergent toxins.
