Abstract
An apparatus and method for applying an agricultural management material to targeted area. Exemplary agricultural management materials include viscous materials.
Claims16
An applicator system for applying a viscous agricultural management material to a targeted area comprising:
- a frame configured to be attached to a vehicle;
- a reservoir providing the viscous agricultural management material;
- and a pump for supplying the viscous agricultural management material from the reservoir to at least one wand;
- wherein the at least one wand is configured to transport the viscous agricultural management material through an interior of the wand and to collect a quantity of the viscous agricultural management material on an external collection area wherein the viscous agricultural management material is exposed to the environment and the at least one wand is further configured to deposit the quantity of viscous agricultural management material to the targeted area in response to the external collection area being brought into contact with the targeted area;
- wherein the at least one wand is attached to a disc rotatably coupled to the frame, the rotation of the disc causing the at least one wand to contact the targeted area and deposit the quantity of viscous agricultural management material.
