How does Hot Water Kill plants?

The high temperature destroys the cell structure of the plant, killing the cells. Plants with dead cells lose their turgidity; and leaves and stems immediately begin to wilt and die.

Why hot water weed control?

Because it takes a lot of energy (provided by heat) and correct transferral of the energy to achieve a systemic effect on the plant’s roots.

Thermal weed treatment is the process of supplying sufficient temperature to physically explode the cell structure, allowing for complete desiccation and breakdown of the organic material.

European research* indicates that hot water transfers 23-27 times more energy than hot air or steam.  This makes hot water the best thermal alternative to get the desired result on the weeds.
