A pesticide volume meter for a pesticide spray system comprises a flow sensor, which measures a flow rate of a pesticide dispensed by the pesticide spray system. The pesticide volume meter also comprises a memory and a control unit. The control unit determines a volume of pesticide dispensed by the pesticide spray system based on the measured flow rate, and stores the determined volume in the memory.

An apparatus for applying a liquid to a plant growing in soil includes a handheld assembly having a spray configuration for applying a liquid to a plant as a spray at a location above the surface of the soil in which the plant is growing, and a probe configuration for applying a liquid below the surface of the soil proximate to the roots of the plant. The assembly is selectively reconfigurable by a user between the first spray configuration and the second probe configuration.

Disclosed are compositions comprising compounds of Formula (I) and compounds of Formula (II). Also disclosed are N compositions containing compounds of Formula (I) or compounds of Formula (II), or combinations thereof and methods for controlling an invertebrate pest comprising contacting the invertebrate pest or its environment with a biologically effective amount of a compound or a composition of the disclosure.

Embodiments of the inventive concept provide a portable organic entity termination applicator unit. The applicator unit can include an organic herbicide reservoir or can otherwise be an herbicideless applicator unit. The applicator unit can include an outer housing, a cold water supply line, an organic herbicide reservoir to hold organic herbicide, an herbicide adjustment valve for controlling a liquid mixture, a heater core to pre-heat the herbicide water liquid mixture, and a delivery pipe to expel the heated liquid. The applicator unit can include a fuel canister receptacle to receive a fuel canister. The heater core may heat the liquid using fuel stored in the fuel canister.

The invention relates to a device and method for applying a spraying means using a portable spraying device.

Systems and methods are disclosed that include a spraying apparatus having a hand held spraying device, a flexible reservoir connected in fluid communication with the hand held spraying device and worn on the body of a user of the spraying apparatus, and a pressure device that provides pressure to the flexible reservoir to move fluid from the flexible reservoir to the hand held spraying device.

The present invention refers to a device for the discharge of a pressurised liquid comprising: a liquid intake section (2400), a liquid discharge lance (2300), a pump (2200), which can be connected to a motor (2100), the pump having an inlet connected to the intake section and an outlet connected to the discharge lance, where the discharge lance and the pump are connected by a connection (2800, 2801, 2802, 2803, 2804), with at most three rotational degrees of freedom and/or one translational degree of freedom.

The handheld data-logging spray apparatus incorporates a global positioning system (GPS) receiver and microcontroller into a conventional handheld spray unit. As an operator dispenses a chemical using the handheld data-logging spray apparatus, the microcontroller records (among other things) the volume of chemical dispensed and the GPS location of the sprayer. The recorded data is processed and stored on a removable USB thumb drive. The operator can download the data from the thumb drive and manipulate the data using a conventional spreadsheet program or a commercially-available geographic information system program.

A fluid spray apparatus includes an inlet and first and second outlets. A first actuator may communicate the inlet with at least one of the outlets. A second actuator also may communicate the inlet with at least one of the outlets. A passage network of the fluid spray apparatus communicates the first and second actuators with the first and second outlets. A diverter structure is disposed in the passage network. The diverter structure includes a first diverter structure arrangement. In the first diverter structure arrangement, the first actuator communicates the inlet with the first outlet and the second actuator communicates the inlet with the second outlet. The diverter structure also includes a second diverter structure arrangement. In the second diverter structure arrangement, the first actuator communicates the inlet with the second outlet and the second actuator communicates the inlet with the first outlet.

A sprayer includes a spray nozzle, a blower and a sprayer housing. The sprayer housing is configured to contain a liquid. The spray nozzle and the sprayer housing are connected. The spray nozzle is configured to spray the liquid out from the sprayer housing. The blower is fixedly connected with the spray nozzle, and the spray nozzle is connected to the sprayer housing through the blower. The blower is rotatable with respect to the sprayer housing so as to adjust the angle of the blower with respect to the sprayer housing, thereby enabling the angle of the spray nozzle to be adjusted with respect to the sprayer housing. The angle of the spray nozzle with respect to the sprayer housing is adjustable, so the spray nozzle is capable of ejecting the liquid at different angles with respect to the sprayer housing without moving the sprayer.
