SCEPTR E for a sustainable future Weed control using electricity! Developed by ABA and Ubiquitek and trialled under SCEPTRE. Machine generates 15,000v, heating up and literally cooking weeds right down to the roots.
SCEPTR E for a sustainable future Summary SCEPTRE is a unique collaboration between growers, researchers and agchem industry. New fungicides, insecticides, herbicides and engineering/application solutions will directly result from the project.
