Outside of maybe using this in small scale Hort farming, this is a ways off to be a viable solution. You only have a short window to kill the weeds before you can rely on the crop to outcompete the weeds. Use this too early and a new flush of weeds will come up that will out compete the crop, try to use this too late when the weeds are larger and more established and it will not effectively kill the weeds that will outcompete the crop and hurt yields - along with this thing tramping down the crop.
