FR2987229A1 - DEVICE FOR TREATING THE HEART OF THE FOLIAR BOUQUET OF PLANTS LIKE PALM TREES CONSISTING OF A SECURE CONNECTED HOUSING CONNECTED TO THE TOP OF THE PLANT BY A CAPILLARY PIPE HIMSELF ENDED BY AN INJECTOR-DIFFUSER - Google Patents

Abstract

Device for treating the heart of the foliage bouquet plants and more particularly the palms from the foot of the plant. The invention relates to a device for effectively treating plants from their foot, without risk of falling, pollution and contamination. It consists of a secure box-connector (3) fixed on the trunk at the foot of treated plants in which there is a quick connector with anti-return (5) for a quick connection to an injection equipment (4), itself connected to a capillary (2) attached along the plant to its summit and terminated by a diffuser (1) for wetting by spreading or soaking to facilitate the application of all authorized treatments. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the treatment of palm trees in the context of the fight against red palm weevil.

Description

The present invention relates to a device for effectively treating heart plants and more particularly palm trees. Traditionally the treatment of trees by spraying insecticides and fungicides, ... requires their ascent. This generates risks of falling, pollution and contamination. Developed to fight against plant pests and more particularly in the fight against Rynchophorus Ferrugineus (Red Palm Weevil) the system presented consists of placing a low pressure injector / diffuser (1) in the heart of the foliar bouquet of palms closer to their surface. vegetative bud. This system can also be adapted to any other plant requiring treatment by spreading or dipping without intervention in height and in a completely secure manner. The installation of one or more injectors at the level of the terminal bud of a plant makes it possible to optimize the treatments applied, to limit the quantities of plant protection products used (insecticides and possibly cryptogamic, phytosanitary or fungal treatments). The attached drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents the device of the invention FIG. 2 represents the device in use situation FIG. 3 represents open secure box Referring to these drawings, this device comprises an injector / diffuser (1) which ensures a uniform flow (jet shaped shower or flow according to the setting made) which is connected to its base, (by way of non-limiting example, a smooth exit viper head 4 x 6 mm) to a capillary tube (2) made of polyethylene or PVC 4x6mm (by way of non-limiting example) itself fixed and anchored by means of staples and / or fasteners type "Rilsan P" necklaces along from the stipe of the palm tree (or along the trunk of a plant) to a secure box-connector (3) (& Cf. Fig.3), locked by lock (6) itself fixed on the stipe palm tree (or trunk). (See Fig. 1) (By way of nonlimiting example the case will have dimensions of the order of 70mm (h) x 50mm (1) x 40mm (p) (see Fig. 3) and may be identified by a sign bearing the notices of regulatory warnings and any contact information of the provider). The secure case ((3) & Cf. Fig. 3) is placed at a height between 1.5 and 2.5 meters in height in order to avoid any risk of contact with individuals and more particularly children and all children. risk of vandalism in the communes.

Once opened (see Fig. 3), the secure case shows, as a non-limiting example, a female-female quick connector (5) with a diameter of 6mm with a check valve on which a technician comes connect its injection equipment (4) (type pump, booster, injector, ...) thus performing its treatment without ever coming into contact with the products. (See Fig. 2) Once the treatment is done, the technician then disconnects his equipment, the non-return valve of the female-female quick connector (5) then comes into operation and prevents any flow, thus protecting the operator. The secure housing (3) can then be closed and locked with its lock (6) 45 until the next intervention thus protecting all individuals coming close to the treated plant. The presented system combines aesthetics, efficiency, simplicity, and security allowing fast interventions in complete safety. This innovative method therefore no longer requires the systematic rise of the 50 plants by the technicians to carry out heart treatments thus limiting the risk of falling. It still avoids any dispersion in the air of insecticides and phytosanitary products in a concern of respect for the environment, the fauna and the people residing near plants treated under the law "Grenelle 2".

Claims (1)

CLAIMS1 / Device for treating the heart of the foliar bouquet of plants (and more particularly palm trees) characterized in that it comprises a diffuser positionable at will in the heart of the plant connected to secure connector box (3) locked locked (6) fixed on the trunk of treated plants in which is placed a quick connector with non-return anti-drop (5) for a quick connection to an injection equipment (4) allowing all authorized treatments. 2 / Apparatus according to claim 1 characterized in that the secure connection box is fixed to the foot of the plant treated and accessible. 3 / Apparatus according to claims 1 and 2 characterized in that the treatment is effected through a secure housing (3) locked (6) having a quick anti-return connector and anti-drip (5) for the protection of technicians in treatment operations, people and the environment. 4 / Apparatus according to claim 1 and characterized in that the treatment is effected by means of a diffuser (1) positioned in the heart of the foliage bouquet avoiding unnecessary aerial propagation and harmful to the environment of products during treatments. 5 / Apparatus according to the preceding claims and characterized in that the system uses a capillary tube (2) of small diameter polyethylene or PVC 4x6mm (by way of non-limiting example) in order to operate precise treatments while preserving the aesthetics of plants.
