ABSTRACT:
A process and apparatus for controlling high vegetative and brush growth along a narrow, continuous strip of land along the sides of a roadway or other right-of-way comprising preparing a dilute aqueous herbicidal solution, particulating said solution into coarse or large droplets and imparting an electrostatic charge to the droplets of herbicidal solution, and spraying the particulated and electrostatically charged droplets of said solution upon a narrow, continuous strip of land along the side of a roadway with minimal encroachment of the spray upon the environmental land adjacent said strip, and apparatus for effectively and accurately performing such operations. Such apparatus comprises a motorized vehicle or platform truck upon which is mounted a supply tank for containing the herbicidal solution, means for particulating the solution into coarse droplets and imparting an electrostatic charge thereto, a verticality pivotable mounted shroud or shrouds for containing the particulating nozzles and directionally orienting a thin, fan-shaped sheet of spray against the strip of land to be treated, and a blower for dispersing a stream of air under pressure to create the fan-shaped spray of herbicidal solution and directing it against the strip of land.
