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...
