We propose a new technology for non-Glyphosate vegetation control. This technology is based on spraying the solution of a mixture of inorganic salts named VC©. The solution has a physical mode of action, drying the plant and its roots. The VC© product works as a non-selective contact herbicide-like material or "total weed-killer" that destroys all types of plant material with which they come in contact in a non-selective manner. Our technology has two impacts on the plants: the immediate impact of a non-selective treatment of the vegetation and its persistent effect which prevents the plants' new grooving for an extended period (depending on the weather and geographic location). During the series of field pilots with spraying trucks/trains (dozens of km), we proved the solution's efficiency on typical weeds and Glyphosate-resistant species. Moreover, we demonstrated that our material is more efficient than well-known pelargonic acid-based brands under a third-party evaluation field test. In addition to this, our VC© material is significantly cheaper than current leading market products. Moreover, our VC© solution does not damage spraying trains and equipment and is safe for railway infrastructure, sleepers, roads, and rail maintenance operators.
