ABSTRACT:
A floating plant guard or fender for cultivators formed of rod components straddles small plants in rows and prevents the plants from being damaged or buried by the action of the cultivator tines in the soil. The plant guards are wider at the front than at the back so that they can funnel fine soil around the plants without covering them to provide a mulch and to smother small weeds close to the plants. The rod construction renders the plants visible to the farmer on the tractor at all times. The guards have a floating suspension from a tool bar means so that they will not be obstructed by ground irregularities or foreign objects. Adjustable side grid attachments for the guards allow finer grading or sifting of soil by regulating the spaces between bars of the guard bodies.
