| 047100500 | PLANT SURFACE CONTACT MATERIAL APPLICATOR | 8 |
| 20110289832 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LAWN CARE - The present invention features a multi-step organic lawn care program that comprises four or more specified treatments that are applied at specific times throughout the year. Each step serves specific functions that assist in the maintenance and improvement of turf. Each treatment is intended to be applied at a prescribed time to ensure maximum benefits to the turf. The treatments are preferably applied in a liquid format are generally effective at detoxifying a surface that has been treated with chemical fertilizers. The treatments may be applied in conjunction with other products. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20120096765 | Liquid Herbicide Applicator - A liquid herbicide applicator includes a length adjustable handle member and a reservoir removably coupled to the handle member, the reservoir defining an inlet for receiving a liquid and an outlet from which to dispense liquid. The applicator includes a valve assembly coupled to the reservoir outlet operative between an open configuration that allows the liquid to flow through the outlet and a closed configuration that prevents the liquid from flowing through the outlet. The valve assembly is biased toward the closed configuration. A dispenser assembly having a cap portion is operatively coupled to the valve assembly and includes an application portion connected to the cap portion, the cap portion being selectively movable closer to the valve assembly so as to urge the valve assembly to the open configuration and away from the valve assembly so to allow the valve assembly to return to the closed configuration. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20110047867 | PLANT TREATMENT BASED ON A WATER INVARIANT CHLOROPHYLL INDEX - A method and system of treating plants is provided. The method includes measuring optical properties of a plant using a plurality of spectral bands. The method further includes calculating in a computational device at least two vegetative indexes using the optical properties, each of the at least two vegetative indexes correlating to one or more plant growth parameters. The method further includes calculating in the computational device a water invariant chlorophyll index from at least two vegetative indexes using the plurality of spectral bands. The also provides for treating one or more of the plants based on the water invariant chlorophyll index. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110030272 | CANE-TYPE PLANT CHEMICAL DISPENSER - Apparatus for selectively applying a liquid plant chemical such as a herbicide to a plant includes a hollow tubular reservoir, an integrated funnel handle at the upper end of the reservoir, and an applicator tip at the lower end of the reservoir. The applicator tip includes a valve and a wick that allows the chemical to be dispensed in a controlled manner onto a specific plant, avoiding chemical drift. A protective cap fits over the applicator tip during storage, while retainer tabs keep the protective cap from squeezing the wick. The retainer tabs may be sharp enough to prick the plant to place the chemical internally. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110162266 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR POLLEN APPLICATION FOR ENHANCING BIOLOGICAL CONTROL - The present invention provides a pollen applicator device and method for biological control of mites via pollen application. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20090288338 | HORTICULTURAL APPLICATOR DEVICE - A horticultural applicator ( | 11-26-2009 |
| 20120017500 | Indoor Plant Duster and Solution Applicator - A device for cleaning and applying solution to the leaves of a plant. The device comprises a pair of tongs equipped with permanent sponge pads along the inner portion of each tong leg. A plurality of sleeve hooks is provided along each leg to allow securement of replaceable quilted sleeves, which cover the legs of the tongs while in use. The tongs are used to grasp an elongated leaf and run along its length to clean and remove dust from them using a dry sleeve. Alternatively, the sleeves may be used when wet, either with water or in conjunction with a desired solution. The wet sleeves are then used to apply the solution to specific leaves in a controlled operation, without risk of spreading or misting solution onto undesirable locations. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20100175316 | Method and apparatus for a spray system - An improvement to a roadside sprayer fixates spray nozzles on a registration plate. The registration plate may include integral tabs depending on the application. Inclination of the tabs is adjustable to place streams and droplets in a desired swath coverage. With the nozzles rigidly mounted onto the plate, the entire plate is nutated. The use of the registration plate in a spray unit creates a uniform nutation among the nozzles, thereby reducing variability in droplet placement, and providing a more predictable spray from the nozzles. In other embodiments, the spray unit is utilized in a spray system adaptable to service vehicles, and may be utilized in conjunction with a vegetation engagement device, such as a cutter to engage multiple zones of a roadway right-of-way. Additionally, an improved spray unit includes an electromagnetic field and an attractor to generate plate motion. | 07-15-2010 |
