Pioneering project: crop.zone and partners present revolutionary glyphosate alternative!

crop.zone sets new standards in the fight against chemical herbicides and offers a groundbreaking alternative to glyphosate. Established on the agricultural market since 2022, crop.zone is now demonstrating its potential for large-scale applications at Deutsche Bahn.

At a time when the use of chemical herbicides such as glyphosate is coming under increasing criticism, with more and more environmental side effects becoming known and resistance to crop protection products on the rise, crop.zone offers a sustainable solution for agriculture and other applications. Our technology, Electric Crop Management, combines electricity with its highly efficient use to provide advanced weed control without chemicals.

Our technologies are ideal for large-scale applications, both on fields and farmland and on railway tracks. Authorities and rail companies have been looking for alternatives to glyphosate for decades and some, such as Deutsche Bahn AG, have now stopped using it.

After intensive research and development in collaboration with the customer, the German Centre for Railway Research (DZSF) and other partners, including RWTH Aachen University, HydroMill GmbH and LBBZ GmbH, crop.zone is about to successfully complete a previously confidential project.

On 13 June, the project partners presented their results in Aachen. The processes impressively demonstrated that crop.zone offers a feasible and effective alternative to conventional methods through the targeted use of electric current alone or, depending on the area of application, in combination with other processes.

crop.zone is at the forefront of a movement that is making chemical herbicides obsolete in many applications. With our technology, we are ready to change the future of agriculture and other industries in a sustainable way. This helps farmers and rail operators as well as the environment and society, and is fully in line with the Green Deal’s sustainability strategy.
