Superheated steam delivering apparatus and agricultural methods therewith

An apparatus, useful for agricultural applications, comprising:

• a portable frame;
• a water reservoir mounted on the frame, the water reservoir defining an upstream end of a fluid passageway carried by the frame;
• a first chamber disposed along the fluid passageway downstream of the reservoir, the first chamber including a heater operable to convert water flowed from the reservoir and through the chamber into steam;
• a second chamber disposed along the fluid passageway and of a construction sufficient to receive steam at a first temperature range downstream of the first chamber and to heat the received steam to within a second temperature range, wherein the steam at the second temperature range is superheated;
• a steam separator disposed along the fluid pathway and being between the first and second chambers, the steam separator capable of separating liquid from the steam flowing in the passageway;
• and,
• an outlet adapted to deliver a flow of superheated steam from the second chamber.
