Hogweed Auger

For effective control of the giant hogweed (an invasive exotic), the giant hogweed auger is used in addition to the existing control methods: hoeing, mowing, and grazing.

The giant hogweed auger removes the roots of the giant hogweed ergonomically and effectively, preventing the plant from germinating again.

Toxic substance in the plant’s sap has a harmful effect on the skin and eyes. In addition, they grow to large plants which prevents any other plant growth in the vicinity. The soil becomes impoverished and susceptible to erosion. This causes major problems, particularly along watercourses.
