DEVICE FOR VEGETATIVE DRESSING OF CROPS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A01C23/04 

FIELD: forestry and agricultural engineering.

SUBSTANCE: proposed device contains hopper in lower part of which mixing chamber with supply and outlet branch pipes and cup is arranged. Device has hydrocyclone for separating slime, suspensions and litter from mother liquor with chamber for their settling and evacuation, three position water flow distributor for feeding sprinkling water into hopper, mother liquor into system of finely dispersed sprinkling irrigation from hydrocyclone and its chamber for collecting and directing slime, suspensions and litter into lock weir net. Cup of hopper is made in form of hollow cone with vertex pointed to side of hopper charging hatch. Supply branch pipe is hydraulically coupled with hydrocyclone furnished with gauze screen in form of hollow truncated cone mating through smaller base with chamber for settling slime, suspensions and litter. Three-position flow distributor is connected with supply branch pipe of mixing chamber, hydrocyclone and chamber of hydrocyclone for collecting slime, suspensions and litter, respectively, with pressure water outlet pipeline, lock weir net and pipeline of finely dispersed sprinkling irrigation system.

EFFECT: provision of uniform delivery of macrofertilizers and microelements onto cormophyte mass of plants at foliar application, increased efficiency of their assimilation by plants under conditions of controlled plant climate, increased yield and quality of crop.
