ABSTRACT:
Fertilizer or other liquid crop treatment is applied to the ground using a direct injection jet with a nozzle position closely adjacent the ground and forming a jet of the liquid directed into the ground. A solenoid controlled valve cyclically halts the flow of fluid to form short pulses of the fluid so that the fluid can be supplied in concentrate form while generating sufficient energy to achieve a depth of penetration in the range 2 to 4 inches. The solenoid controlled valve and nozzle is mounted on a skid member carried on a depth control wheel. The period of the pulses is arranged so that the length of a pulse is very short relative to the spacing between the pulses with the spacing between adjacent rows formed by adjacent heads being substantially equal to the spacing between the individual pulses.
