A liquid delivery device for killing weeds. The liquid delivery device includes a main tube, a handle, and a pump housing that includes a pump chamber. A reservoir is disposed in the main tube, and a plunger is connected to the reservoir and positioned in the pump chamber. The plunger is operative to push a liquid contained in the pump chamber through a check valve and dispensing orifices when a user moves the reservoir with respect to the main tube and pump housing. The device also includes a spike extending from the pump housing and an annular stand-off surrounding the spike. The spike is adapted to disrupt the soil and damage the root structure of a target weed.

The present disclosure relates to a pneumatic serial device for spraying materials into a deep soil layer and an implementation method thereof. The device comprises a material spraying injector (1), a air blasting system (2) connected with the material spraying injector (1), and a material feeding system (3), wherein the air blasting system (2) and the material feeding system (3) are connected with the material spraying injector (1) in series in sequence, wherein the air blasting system (2) comprises a high-pressure air tank (2-1) and a quick relieve valve (2-2), the material feeding system (3) comprises a material chamber (3-1), a feeding valve (3-2), a valve I (3-3), a material sending chamber (3-4), a valve II (3-5) and a material delivery pipe (3-6) which are connected to each other in sequence, and the material delivery pipe (3-6) extends into the high-pressure air tank (2-1) and is communicated with the quick relieve valve (2-2) at the bottom thereof. Combined with the implementation method thereof, the device can uniformly apply a certain amount of various materials into the soil layer at any depth, replacing the traditional method, greatly improving the operation efficiency of applying materials into the deep soil layer, significantly reducing the cost of applying materials into the deep soil layer, and reducing the labor intensity.

A needle injector used in the Landscape Services to inject the soil getting to the root of a plant [FIG. 1 #1] with the purpose of killing the plant with herbicide flowing through the needle and out the holes [FIG. 1 #4]. Typical weed control is done by pulling the weeds with a tool or by hand, not very effective as weeds grow back when pulled, there is always some root left behind to regrow. This invention kills the weed at the root and it dies and disintegrates on its own. It is an easily used device by connecting it to a garden pump sprayer or similar device [FIG. 2 #5 and 6] and using pressure to drive the herbicide into the root. It is 6 long. {FIG 1. number 3} to get the deep roots. It can be used with fertilizers as well, getting near or on the roots.

A sub-surface injection system for subsurface blending and horizon creation includes wings (105B, 519A, 511C, 513C, 519C), partially actuated mixing wings (205B, 309A, 411C, 419C, 511A, 519A, 511B, 513B, and 521B), an electromagnet, AI robot (1107C), lens (1205), computer (111C), a PLC (1105C), encoder (1305B), limit switch (1409B), and a GPS (1113C). The wings (105B) are actuated by the electromagnet. The wings (105B) include blades (911B, 913B, and 915B), the partially actuated mixing wings (513B) during descension and/or ascension, and industrial diamonds or blades to cut through sub-surface impediments.
