TESTIMONIAL SHEET

Experience of Domaine de la Croix Senaillet in Davayé (71), 25ha in Organic Farming since 2010.

Focus on the use of the Kress (R) hoe with fingers:

• the rubber fingers penetrate the soil and uproot the weeds thanks to a rotating movement
• the finger hoe should preferably be used on weeds that are not very developed (seedling stage) and on soils already worked beforehand
• the tool passes very close to the vines, allowing good inter-row weeding
