Due to its special construction the HOAF KB^® 1.8 is an excellent device to be used in the horticulture. Owing to the large capacity under the burner housing the HOAF KB^® 1.8 is very suitable for the burning of weed and debris of vegetation on beds of 1800mm. wide or ridges with a distance of 900mm. If the device is used systematically after each period of growth, subsequent treatments take less time. A treatment with the HOAF KB^® 1.8 kills many seeds, mildews, spores and bacteria that are lying on the ground.
