Weed control is essential for producing healthy seedlings at nurseries. Weeds
compete for moisture and nutrients, but hand weeding is expensive. Spray applicators
use herbicides that kill weeds but also can kill hardwood seedlings.
"Shielded Herbicide Sprayer for Hardwood Nursery Seedling Beds" (0624–2827–MTDC) describes a prototype shielded herbicide sprayer that was developed by MTDC. It applies glyphosate herbicide only on the leaves of weeds between rows and along the edges of four- or five-row hardwood seedling beds.
Shop-quality drawings for the sprayer are available at the "Nurseries Drawings" Web site: http://www.fs.fed.us/t-d/dwf/nurseries (Username: t-d, Password: t-d).
