Abstract

A spray chamber was constructed to spray herbicides or growth regulators on small potted plants. Syphon-type pneumatic atomizing nozzles were used to eliminate the need to pressurize the spray solution. Two stationary overhead nozzles deliver the solution to plants rotating on a turntable. The chamber permits convenient and accurate regulation of volume and rate of chemical application for laboratory and greenhouse investigations.
