ABSTRACT:
The system for injecting a systemic treatment liquid into trees and similar plants includes a plurality of substantially identical injector nozzles, each of which is insertable into one of a plurality of circumferentially spaced injector holes in the tree, a plurality of substantially identical sealed containers containing the treatment liquid in a predetermined quantity suitable for a single treatment through one of the injector holes and having a discharge conduit which is closed by a frangible member, a flexible strap or belt adapted to be wrapped around the tree at a location above the injector holes, a plurality of substantially identical connecting hose assemblies, each having one end adapted for connection to an injector nozzle and a connector at the other end which is insertable into the container discharge conduit and has a pointed outer tip for puncturing the container membrane, and valve means carried by each of the hose assemblies for selectively opening and closing the flow passage therethrough. The belt has a plurality of holes which are spaced at equal intervals corresponding to the desired circumferential spacing of the injector holes. After the belt is wrapped around the tree at about eye level, the containers are hung by hooks from each of the remaining accessible belt holes and a hose assembly is connected to each container by inserting the connector into the container discharge conduit and the injector nozzles are inserted into the injector holes.
