Kersten is excited to attend GroundsFest once again and will be showcasing the latest weed management products – electric weed management solutions, battery powered pedestrian weed brush and hot water weed control products.
Kersten Electric Weed Killer is a pedestrian electric lance for weed management. It employs electrophysical technology to generate a high voltage that delivers an electric shock to the targeted plant.
This shock penetrates deep into the roots, boiling the water within the plant and destroying its structure immediately. The process also damages the plant’s chlorophyll, causing the cells to die and the plant to dry out and perish.
Operation is straightforward: simply press both yellow buttons on the handle, target and treat unwanted weeds instantly.
Key features:
Versatility: Kersten Electric Weed Killer offers high versatility in various weather conditions, operation location and timing. With no chemical or hazardous residues involved, it is ideal for use near water or in sensitive habitats and for treating invasive species such as Japanese Knotweed and Giant Hogweed.
Environmentally Friendly: The electric weed killer targets weeds without harming adjacent living organisms or soil nutrients, helping maintain soil health. It is particularly effective for treating Japanese Knotweed, eliminating the need for disruptive digging, saving time and effort.
Safety: Safety is a top priority with Kersten Electric Weed Killer. Features including two-point operation, fuse protection on ground plugs, continuous safety checks, and an emergency stop function on both the lance and the unit ensure the safety of both operators and pedestrians at all times.

The Eco Weedkiller Pro SP Mini is an all-electric thermal weed control device. Its 150-litre water tank allows it to treat 50-75 m² of fully greened area. By applying 100°C hot water, it kills plant cells, halting photosynthesis and causing the weeds to die off.
Key features:
Compact and manoeuvrable: The SP mini is a lightweight and compact device which could be carried around by trolley and UTV.
No chemicals: The device only requires hot water to treat weeds, making it suitable for environmentally sensitive areas and areas close to water.
Silent operations: The Pro SP Mini operates almost silently, with only the hiss of the nozzle indicating that the water is hot enough for effective weed control.
