ABSTRACT:
A direct contact wiper bar and wiper bar system for applying a liquid (such as herbicide) to a stand of vegetation (such as Johnson grass or other weed) includes a wiper bar comprising an elongated tubing with a plurality of holes along its lower portion, a wick made of absorbent material and extending around the lower two-thirds of the tubing and covering the holes, an impermeable plastic shield covering approximately the lower one-half of the tubing and less than all of the wick material, and an outer layer of absorbent material covering the entire assembly. In a first embodiment, the shield is made of a flexible plastic sheeting, or the like, and a length of twine is tightly wound around the length of the shield, wick, and tube to act as the outer covering and also hold the assembly together. In a second embodiment, the shield is made of a rigid plastic pipe cut lengthwise and chamfered at its edges with clamps attaching it to the tube. Burlap is wrapped around the assembly and twine is coiled around the burlap to hold it in place.
