ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method and apparatus for the application of fluid to soil and/or plants. A cutting blade for the soil preferably goes to depths of at least 12 inches. A nozzle/spray system is provided to the cutting blade to provide fluid during cutting of the soil. The nozzle may be protected by a shield, or recessed into the blade for protection. The primary application is the eradication of dense tree and brush species, by cutting the soil and applying an herbicide below the root crown level, in a single step.
