FLUID COVERING IMPLEMENT
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an implement having a frame and a soil moving implement that is attached to the frame. The soil moving implement is disposed in a row between plants for moving soil from between rows of plants to at least the rhizosphere of the plants to cover fluid that is deposited in the rhizosphere.
Implements for displacing ground material
Implement apparatus configured to displace ground material is disclosed herein. For example, an implement includes an extension member coupled to a roller apparatus. The roller apparatus includes a cylindrical portion and a plurality of ground displacing elements. The ground displacing elements is configured to extend into a ground surface to disperse ground material when the roller apparatus is engaged with the ground surface as the vehicle traverses the ground surface.

CUTTING HEAD FOR VINEYARD AND ORCHARD TILLER/CULTIVATOR
A tractor mounted tiller/cultivator system that includes right and left swing arms pivotally attached to tractor chassis, right and left cutting head assemblies mounted on the swing arms, each including a right disc motor driving a rotary disc mounted on a distal portion of the swing arm and operatively coupled to the motor. Ground-engaging cultivation wheels surround the rotary disc, and an annular guard prevents unwanted contact of the wheels with vines or trunks of vines and trees. A drive mechanism lowers and raises the swing arms to put the cultivation wheels into engagement and disengagement with ground and to rotate said swing arms about their longitudinal axes. User controls operatively connected to the swing arms, cutting head assemblies, and drive mechanisms enable a user to finely tune the movement of the cutting heads into and out from rows of trees or vines.
Adjustable row crop cultivator
An adjustable row crop cultivator is mounted on a tool bar which is vertically movably mounted at the rear end of a tractor. The cultivator includes a plurality of spaced-apart adjustable cultivator units which are vertically movably mounted on the tool bar. A gauge wheel assembly is selectively vertically movably mounted at the forward end of each of the cultivator units. A first mounting plate is positioned at one side of the cultivator unit and has cultivator tools mounted thereon. A second mounting plate is positioned at the other side of the cultivator unit and has cultivator tools mounted thereon. The first and second mounting plates are horizontally movably mounted so that they may be moved towards one another and moved away from one another. The cultivator units may be adjusted by the operator of the tractor from the tractor while the tractor is moving.

Implements, systems, and methods for applying stress to early stage agricultural plants of agricultural fields
Described herein are implements, systems, and methods for applying stress to agricultural plants of agricultural fields. In one embodiment, an agricultural implement comprises a frame transverse to a direction of travel of the agricultural implement and a stress mechanism disposed on the frame in operation such that the stress mechanism applies a force to the row of plants as the agricultural implement moves through the field.

Inter-Row Cultivator with a Large Working Width
An inter-row cultivator with a large working width, comprising a base frame with a chassis, via which the base frame is supported on the soil, and a drawbar by means of which the inter-row cultivator can be suspended on a towing vehicle; at least two tool segments, which extend transversely to the travel direction over the entire working width in a working position and which preferably extend along the travel direction in a transport position; and a plurality of hoeing assemblies which are arranged on the tool segments via a respective height guide device, preferably a remotely adjustable height guide device, wherein soil working tools paired with individual plant rows are arranged on the hoeing assemblies. The aim of the invention is to improve the care of cultivated plants. This is achieved in that the tool segments are arranged on the base frame separately movable manner transversely to the travel direction via a respective moving unit so as to be controllable and/or regulatable at least in working position, and a control and/or regulating unit is provided in order to determine suitable positions of the tool segments and to set said positions by means of the moving units.
Flex roller-crimper for improved management and termination of cover crops and other plant material
An agricultural device that can include a frame; and a plurality of roller-crimping devices supported by the frame arranged in at least one row oriented in a direction that is transverse to a direction of travel of the agricultural device. Each of the plurality of roller-crimping devices having an exterior surface configured to at least partially crush stems of residual plant matter, and being individually movably mounted to the frame such that each of the plurality of roller-crimping devices will move at least vertically with respect to the frame when subjected to a temporary increase in resistance caused by an encounter with a non-uniform region in the field.
