To provide an environmentally friendly weeding and weed prevention implement excellent in weeding and weed prevention effects, which achieves labor saving in work and maintains effects over a long period of time.SOLUTION: A weeding and weed prevention implement includes a vehicle 2 that can travel, and a pair of electrodes 3 and 3 disposed in a state of protruding toward the ground, and opposed to each other with a predetermined separation distance in between, on a surface facing the ground of the vehicle 2, and gives an electric stimulus to a plant 4 interposed between the pair of electrodes 3 and 3 by an electric action generated between the pair of electrodes 3 and 3. As an another form, a weeding and weed prevention implement includes a vehicle 2 that can travel, an application electrode 10 disposed on the surface facing the ground of the vehicle 2, and a power reception part 11 provided in the vehicle 2, whose tip is grounded, and gives an electric stimulus to a plant that comes in contact with the application electrode 10 by an electric current flowing at least with the application electrode 10, the plant 4, and the power reception part 11 as a closed circuit by the plant 4 coming into contact with the application electrode 10.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】除草及び防草の効果に優れ、作業の省力化を図り、効果が長期に亘って持続でき、環境に優しい除草・防草作業機を提供する。【解決手段】走行可能な車両２と、前記車両２の地面と対向する面に、地面に向けて突出した状態で配置されるとともに、互いに所定の離隔距離を空けて対向配置された対の電極３、３とからなり、前記対の電極３、３間に生じた電気的作用によって、前記対の電極３、３間に介在する植物４に電気的刺激を与える。また、別の形態として、走行可能な車両２と、前記車両２の地面と対向する面に配置された印加電極１０と、前記車両２に設けられるとともに先端が接地する受電部１１とからなり、前記印加電極１０に植物４が接触することにより少なくとも前記印加電極１０、植物４、前記受電部１１を閉回路として流れた電流によって、前記印加電極１０に接触した植物に電気的刺激を与える。【選択図】図１
