ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a contact chemical applicator for distributing liquid chemicals to foliage. Each applicator is comprised of a substantially elongated and downwardly disposed body with a ground contact means at a lower end of the body which makes contact with the ground as the applicator is moved in a direction of travel. The applicator has a pair of applicator arms that extend substantially outward at opposed angles transverse to the body and the direction of travel and are positioned in a line or in a V-shaped configuration. In use, each arm contacts the foliage and/or the ground and thereby supplies the liquid chemical. A preferred embodiment utilizes a plurality of applicators arranged in rows to form a distributed device such that foliage contacted by an arm of an applicator in a forward row becomes deflected sideways in an opposite direction to that in which it is deflected by an arm of an applicator in a rearward
