Each
weed wiper includes a steel roller wetted by means of a 12 volt
pump. The roller is covered with an absorbent, carpet type material
which ensures maximum chemical transfer to the weeds while
preventing drips to surrounding pasture grasses.
As the roller passes over the weeds, the touch of the plant releases
herbicide from the absorbent cover.
Larger plants exert more pressure and receive a proportionately
larger dose. As the stem presses
on the roller passing over, the released herbicide runs down the stem creating excellent coverage.
When
travel speed is correctly set, the rotating roller will not
physically damage the weeds allowing evapo-transpiration to continue
and quickly move herbicide to the roots resulting in more thorough
eradication.
A relatively weak mix (20:1 water to Roundup) applied in this manner
is sufficient to create the slow kill, known to be most desirable. |
