Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to an herbicide applicator.
  • Weeds in oil palm are such as grasses, broad-leaf weeds, creeping and woody type weeds, fems, epiphytes and others.
  • Weed management is important for oil palm growth, hence, the area around the oil palm tree must be free of growth of weeds especially for young palms to ensure the roots are not in competition with the weed.
  • Application of herbicides to control growth of weeds have become common over the years. Weed management is important as weeds can affect the growth of the oil palm trees by reducing its oil yield and growth as the oil palm trees are in competition with the weeds for nutrient, water, sunlight and space to grow. Weeds require substantial amounts of nutrients for growth as well.
  • the machine system consists of a four-wheeled drive 4WD prime mover with front mounted machine attachments for the circle spraying operation.
  • the configuration of the circle spraying attachment consists of a hexagonal curved spray boom, lifting arm, opening-tilting mechanism unit, storage tank, spray pump, solid cone nozzles, and associate hydraulic system.
  • Field performance tests on the machine system showed an average effective field capacity of 7.89 ha per man per day and when compared to the earlier reported effective field capacity of the walking sorav-ooerated equipment using Serena LT16 knapsack sprayer a difference of 1.97 time for circle spraying of mature palms grove.
  • This machine is called a ‘prime mover 1 , more or less a utility vehicle with multiple attachments and applications. In this case they’ve equipped it with a ‘circle sprayer 1 , with six booms that can open and close around the tree for applying crop protectants such as weed control. See Figure 1.
  • the knapsack sprayer is conventional means of spraying herbicides / herbicides management. Most oil palm estates are slowly moving into mechanised means of spraying herbicides on young and mature oil palm trees. However, knapsack sprayers are still required for use at the field for immature oil palm trees. This is because after planting, the oil palm fronds will be close to the ground and hence not accessible for machines to drive through the paths for spraying purposes.
