Embodiment Construction

[0078] Systems, implements and application units having mechanisms for spot application to agricultural plants in a field are described herein.

[0079] In one embodiment, the application unit comprises: a frame configured to be located between the first and second rows of plants during operation; a first plant contact member pivotably connected to said frame during operation, causing the first plant-contacting member to deflect rearwardly relative to the direction of motion of the frame when contacting at least one plant in the first row of plants, which causes a first change in direction of the first plant-contacting member relative to the frame . The first outlet applies a fluid application to the first row of plants. A first change in direction results in a corresponding second change in direction of the first outlet relative to the frame.

[0080] Each application unit includes a plurality of components (e.g., plant contact members, contacts, guide members, linkage memb...

Abstract

Described herein are implements and application units for placement of fluid applications with respect to agricultural plants of agricultural fields. In one embodiment, an application unit includes aframe to be positioned in operation between two rows of plants and a plurality of flexible members coupled to the frame in operation such that the plurality of flexible members guide a lateral position of the frame to be approximately equidistant from the two rows of plants based upon whether at least one flexible member of the plurality of flexible members contacts one or more plants of the two rows of plants. The plurality of flexible members include a plurality of fluid outlets for spraying crop input in close proximity to the rows of plants.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 324,095, filed April 18, 2016, titled "Machine and Application Unit for Spot-Application Relative to Agricultural Plants in Field," filed on July 22, 2016 U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 365,824, filed January 5, 2017, entitled "Machine and application unit for spot application relative to agricultural Implements and Application Units for Spot Application," US Provisional Application No. 62 / 442,895, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] Embodiments disclosed herein relate to implements and application units for spot-on fluid application relative to agricultural plants in a field. Background technique [0004] Seeders are used to sow seeds of crops (eg, corn, soybeans) in fields. Seeders can also be used to apply fluid applications (eg, fertilizers, chemicals) to soil or crops. Other fluid applicators include sprayers and...
