Description

The apparatus and method of cutting and processing plant
The present invention relates to a kind of cutting and handle the apparatus and method of plant, particularly relate in cutting plants a kind of apparatus and method of fluid spray to the residual cane of cutting plants of handling.
Utilities Electric Co. will regularly prescind along power transmission line land used growing plants, can and reduce line loss near power transmission line so that guarantee.Near it is for the ease of impaired power transmission line being safeguarded and being repaired.The excessive situation of line loss can appear when tall and big dense vegetation causes electric power to leak on the ground by power transmission line below power transmission line.Plant is tall and big more, dense more, and is big more from the spurious radiation loss of power transmission line.Similarly, highway department also will regularly cut off and be grown on the median or along the roadside growing plants, to improve driver and pedestrian's safety.Cut off these plants and can improve visual range and form curb, so that snub along road.Along with the increase to the demand of electric power and highway, the mileage of power transmission line land used and roadside land used increases with exponential form.Therefore, Utilities Electric Co. and highway department are seeking to cut off the method for the plant that is grown in power transmission line land used and roadside always more effective, more economically.
Utilities Electric Co. and highway department have found that, advantageously with a kind of inorganic agent plant are handled in cutting plants, to control the undesired plants growth or to reduce the growth rate of the plant of wishing.Common result according to hope uses such as the granular or liquid treating agent of growth regulator, weed killer herbicide, insecticide, fungicide, fertilizer or biologic product and handles described plant.Handle the modal mode that fluid uses and realize on plant,, and stay on the plant by the viscosity of fluid and specific plant so that inorganic agent touches plant by this fluid of air spray.Modal method that spray to handle fluid comprise with from the aircraft, be equipped with in the ground vehicle of a series of shower nozzles, from hand-held atomizer or the inorganic agent from the mower that the inorganic agent spraying machine is housed is sprayed at the position with plant.But, still do not have can be on non-horizontal direction cutting plants and handle cutting plants assembling the mower of inorganic agent spraying machine, be connected the mower that the lawn mower head of a hinged suspension rod arm end is mowed as utilization on the hillside.
Regrettably, said method can not accurately or controllably be sprayed on the plant handling fluid.Spray method can make the plant contact of inorganic agent and hope in sprinkling, and can be sprayed to the place beyond the pending position.Inorganic agent is in case quilt is sprayed in the air, and spray pattern just becomes at random, and certain plants then is subjected to less than processing at all.In addition, when the concentration of inorganic agent was high, the operator will spray away more than the inorganic agent of requirement usually, and therefore a large amount of inorganic agents is wasted.Usually spray and handle fluid, look up to plant leaf to become wet.Therefore, how many inorganic agents unpredictable have to pollute surrounding soil and ground water regime on the molten ground around plant, and have how many (if any) inorganic agents can be absorbed in the skeleton or transpiration current of plant, and produce desirable effect therein.
Dow Elanco (one tame weed killer herbicide manufacturer) warns the user, only at inorganic agent infiltration blade and absorb that its fluid compound of back just can play a role in the transpiration current of plant.As a result, chemical company has produced and has been known as processing fluid permeability that can making of " adjuvant " spray by the spraying compound in the leaf of densification.A lot of fluids of handling also comprise and can promote described preparation is absorbed surface active agent in the transpiration current of plant.Yet in fact the volume that the processing fluid that sprays by spraying only accounts for very little percentage usually can arrive in the transpiration current of plant.Remaining is handled fluid and falls to the ground, and here it may mix with rainfall and flow on the surrounding ground, or is evaporated in the air, and is delivered on the surrounding ground by wind.
Certainly, near the peasant people with living in power transmission line land used and highway can oppose that sprinkling can cause the processing fluid of runoff or hearsay.Therefore, Utilities Electric Co. and highway department can be subjected to the constraint of administrative regulations and local decree when spraying the processing fluid by spraying.Although Utilities Electric Co. and highway department are all respected above-mentioned regulations and decree usually, the environment specialist still complains, whenever as long as use the processing fluid by spraying, all will inevitably pollute soil and ground water regime, and the danger of runoff and hearsay is arranged.In addition, when near handling the area chemical contamination of soil or water taking place, Utilities Electric Co. and highway department can't prove definitely that all it is mowed and processing operation is not the root of polluting.
