ABSTRACT:
A new apparatus for the application of liquid chemicals to plants is disclosed. Plants are treated by selectively contacting a wick saturated with chemical solution. As the chemical is deposited on plants, the solution in the wick is replenished by gravitational flow and capillary action from a reservoir at the upper end of the diagonally-positioned wick. Excess chemical not applied to plants is dripped from the lower end of the wick into a collection reservoir from where it can be recovered and recycled for reuse. Adequate mounting and support is provided for all the salient parts to allow for positioning and portability.
