Abstract

A truck sprayer for applying herbicides to brush is described. It consists of a three-section, hydraulically controlled boom capable of spraying about a 22-ft swath on brush up to 12 ft tall. The spraying system is mounted on a ⅓-T truck equipped with additional lights for night spraying. Plots 22 ft wide by 50 to 200 ft long are sprayed.
