ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for application of a liquid or liquid-solid dispersion to soil, which is adapted when towed over soil to apply such liquid-solid dispersion to the soil. A supply conduit, having a distal end and a proximal end is provided. The distal end thereof is adapted to be releasibly coupled and in fluid communication with a source of liquid-solid solution, such as liquid manure. The supply conduit is pivotally coupled, via a pivot member, to the frame of the implement to permit the supply conduit to be pivoted in a substantially horizontal plane. The pivot member is coupled at one end thereof to the supply conduit at a location intermediate the distal end and the proximal end of such supply conduit, and is pivotally coupled at an opposite end to the frame of the apparatus. A manifold portion, having a plurality of manifolds thereon, is provided. A corresponding plurality of flexible tube members, in fluid communication with a respective manifold member, are further proided to permit delivery of the liquid-solid dispersion to various areas of the apparatus for subsequent delivery to the soil. A kit comprising the supply conduit and attached pivot member are also described, such kit adapted to permit conversion of an existing soil tillage or soil aeration apparatus to an apparatus that further provides for delivery of liquid-solid dispersions, such as liquid fertilizer, or liquid manure, to the soil.
