Red Dragon® Vegetable Bed Flamers offer producers many options for weed control while reducing or eliminating herbicide usage. Flamers burn clean, efficient propane, so there is no residue, run-off, or contamination to worry about. Vegetable bed flamers use 6-10 gallons (18-37 liters) of propane per acre, making the application roughly half the cost of herbicides in a normal year. Flaming can be done pre-emerge and post-emergence and has been proven effective on a wide variety of crops, including corn, milo, sorghum, soybeans, cotton, carrots, and more.
The Red Dragon® Vegetable Bed Flamer can be used on all crops pre-planting to produce a sterile seedbed. Crops like corn and soybeans can be flamed a second time as the crop emerges to kill weeds that emerge with the crop. Potatoes can be flamed at 2-3 leaf stage to kill weeds and Colorado Potato Beetle. Carrots and other raised bed crops can be flamed pre-plant and again before plant emergence. Any flaming where a broadcast type application is required. It is also a great tool for strawberry renovation.
Red Dragon® Vegetable Bed Flaming Units come with everything you need to get started. Available in 5', 10', 15' and 20' models.
Always consult your propane dealer about purchasing the proper tank or have them check your existing tank to make sure it is clean and safe before you begin flaming. You MUST use a propane tank equipped with a Liquid Withdrawal Valve. Do NOT use a bottom withdrawal valve as any possible debris or scale may plug torches or solenoids down the line. We recommend a top-mounted, liquid withdrawal valve with a dip tube that reaches close to but does not rest on the bottom of the tank. Clean fuel and tanks are critical for the optimum performance of all flaming equipment. Please call us before selecting a propane tank.
