Extension for reducing seed bounce and associated hose attachment

An extension for use with a furrow opener for properly placing seeds in a seed furrow, the furrow opener including a tube adapted to deposit a liquid into the seed furrow, the seed furrow having a centrally located bottom portion and upwardly and outwardly extending sidewalls defining a maximum width dimension, and the sidewalls intersecting at a vertex in the bottom portion and defining a minimum width dimension, such that the seed furrow has a decreasing width, said extension comprising:

• an elongated flexible body member defining a general arcuate shape which provides a generally downwardly and rearwardly sweeping orientation, and also defining an upper segment and a lower segment;
• the upper segment attachable to the furrow opener;
• the lower segment configured to depend downwardly and rearwardly from the furrow opener and extendible into the seed furrow, the lower segment having a lower surface having a downwardly convex shape, and the lower segment having a width dimension decreasing along its length, the width dimension substantially equal to but less than the decreasing width of the seed furrow as the lower segment extends into the furrow;
• a clip attached to the lower segment adapted to receive the tube;
• and
• the lower segment terminating at a trailing end, the trailing end configured to be spaced above the centrally located bottom portion of the seed furrow.
