Spot Herbicide Applicator For Tree Farmers CROPS Weed Control 22-3-4 If you have trouble keeping weeds down around young trees, you'll like this spot applicator from New Zealand that drops a precise band of granular herbicide around the trunk.
In North America, the Weed-A-Meter (WAM) has so far been used primarily to apply Pronone 25G to Ponderosa pines. For big tree-growing operations, where herbicides are often broadcast or aerially applied, the savings can be tremendous. But at just $85, the new spot applicator could pay off for anyone trying to get a stand of trees going.
Marketed in the U.S. by Wilbur Ellis, the applicator has a bell-shaped funnel on bottom connected to a 12 oz. herbicide container on top. A trigger underneath the container operates like a powder sifter, sending herbicide down around both the outside and in-side of the bell, spreading it out in a 4 to 5 ft. dia. circle around the tree.
It sells for $85.
A new model suitable for applications of granular fertilizers and insecticides will be available next year.
