Described herein is an aerial material delivery system, which includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) including a body, and a material dispensing system mounted to the UAV, The delivery system also includes a collapsible storage container releasably mountable to the UAV. The storage container contains a flowable chemical product and includes at least one coupler adapted to couple the storage container to the material dispensing system of the UAV and allow the flowable chemical product to be dispensed therethrough.

A self-propelled agricultural product application implement such as high clearance sprayer and/or spreader is provided that includes a product container that is sectioned. Emptying of the container sections is controlled to approximate a target front-to-back weight distribution of the implement for a substantially long period of time during a product application session. An outlet system having multiple variable outlet arrangements is arranged between the product container and an application arrangement such as a spray boom or a rotary broadcaster. The variable outlet arrangements are configured to allow the container sections to sequentially empty to maintain ballast provided by the store product at relatively later portions of the implement for a relatively longer period of time during the product application session.

A sprayer including a chassis supporting a main container, a spray boom, and an incorporation device, the incorporation device having an active state and an inactive state. A volume occupied by the incorporation device can be varied between its active state and its inactive state. The incorporation device has a larger capacity in its active state and is smaller in size in its inactive state.

A retrofit dual sprayer system comprises an agricultural vehicle having a broadcast tank mounted thereon, the broadcast tank having a first volumetric capacity for holding general-application liquid chemical(s) for preventing undesirable plants from growing in an agricultural field, a selective-spot spray (SSP) tank retrofitly mounted on the agricultural vehicle, the SSP tank having a second volumetric capacity for holding specific liquid chemical(s) for treating one or more target weeds growing in the agricultural field, the second volumetric capacity greater than or equal to about 5% of the first volumetric capacity and less than or equal to about 30% of the first volumetric capacity, a spray boom attached to the agricultural vehicle, the spray boom including broadcast nozzles mounted on the spray boom, the broadcast nozzles fluidly coupled to the broadcast tank, and SSP nozzles retrofitly mounted on the spray boom, the SSP nozzles fluidly coupled to the SSP tank.

An apparatus for controlling weed growing on a ground surface includes a liquid supply system configured to supply hot liquid, and dispensing means are operatively connected to the liquid supply system. The dispensing means are configured to dispense hot liquid to the weed. The liquid supply system includes at least one buffer tank that is configured to store and supply hot liquid, a liquid supply container is connected to the at least one buffer tank, and a direct supply line extends between the supply container and the at least one buffer tank. The direct supply line is configured to supply unheated liquid from the supply container directly to the at least one buffer tank and a hot liquid supply line including heating means for heating liquid supplied from the supply container to the at least one buffer tank. A method for controlling weed growth.

In one aspect, a liquid tank assembly is provided and configured to be mounted to a tractor. The liquid tank assembly includes a first tank configured to contain liquid, a second tank configured to contain liquid, a first support frame coupled to and supporting the first tank, and the first support frame includes a first mounting member configured to mount the first support frame to the tractor. The liquid tank assembly also includes a second support frame coupled to and supporting the second tank. The second support frame includes a second mounting member configured to mount the second support frame to the tractor, and the first support frame is coupled to the second support frame. In one aspect, a liquid tank assembly is provided and configured to be mounted to a tractor having a maximum width. A tank assembly width is no greater than a maximum width of the tractor.

A rinse tank for use with an agricultural machine that has a routing tunnel formed in a tank bottom wall for routing hoses through the routing tunnel between the rinse tank and a frame side-rail associated with the agricultural machine. The routing tunnel allows hoses to be routed from a first end of the agricultural machine to a second end of the agricultural machine. Additionally, brackets can be installed to the top wall of the frame side-rail. The brackets can be used to help locate the rinse tank about the frame as they are configured to fit within the routing tunnel. Additionally, the hoses can be routed through the brackets to prevent the hoses from being misplaced or damaged once the rinse tank is installed onto the frame side-rail.

A variable width agricultural applicator is provided. The variable width agricultural applicator is attachable to a boom to apply a liquid to a crop in rows. The variable width agricultural sprayer includes a drop tube and a splitter downstream of the drop tube. The splitter is fluidly connected to the drop tube. A pair of flexible delivery tubes is fluidly connected to the splitter. Each one of the pair of flexible delivery tubes has a predetermined bend.

The pneumatic sprayer for palm trees includes an air tank having an outlet; a one-way air valve having an input port and output port, the outlet of the air tank being connected to the input port of the one-way air valve; a compressor connected to the one-way air valve; a pressure regulator connected to the air tank regulating the pressure of the air coming from the outlet of the air tank; an outlet tank connected to the output port of the one-way air valve; and a sprayer device connected to the outlet tank.

An intelligent pesticide spraying robot self-adaptive to terrain of mountain land is provided. Walking mechanisms are respectively connected to both side ends of a chassis. A pesticide spraying mechanism includes rotary drive mechanisms respectively connected to both sides of the rear end of the chassis, telescopic spray boom mechanisms correspondingly connected to the rotary drive mechanisms, rotary nozzle mechanisms correspondingly connected to the telescopic spray boom mechanisms, a liquid pesticide storage box fixed to the top of the chassis, a first water pump fixed in the liquid pesticide storage box, and first water pipes in communication with the first water pump and the rotary nozzle mechanisms. A control chip of a control identification mechanism is communicatively connected to the walking mechanisms, the rotary drive mechanisms, the telescopic spray boom mechanisms, the rotary nozzle mechanisms, the first water pump, a front-end camera, side-end cameras and ultrasonic sensors respectively.
