DEVICE FOR INTEGRATED TREATMENT OF CROPS Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A01M7/00 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to mechanization of facilities for complex treatment of crops. Device comprises a unit with a hinge with a reservoir for working fluid installed on it, a pump and a pipeline connected to nozzles for supplying working fluid into the inner space of a closed cavity above rows of plants, adjustable shields, on which nozzles are installed, which are located along the contour of shelters in their middle part, with the possibility of adjusting their position and number depending on the size of plantations. Aggregate used is a walk-behind tractor, on the hinge of which a compressor is installed to create working pressure in the nozzles. Device has additional end shields with brushes located at the bottom. On side shields there installed are plates with process holes for arrangement of nozzles in them for the purpose of their differentiated adjustment by height and angle of inclination. All shields are installed with possibility of differentiated opening from 0–90° in different directions along vertical line for supply of working fluid to plants.

EFFECT: simplified design, reduced pollution of the environment, possibility of using the device for destruction of weeds in row spacing of tilled crops and perennial plantations without mechanical action on the soil surface, and for surface treatment of tilled crops, carrying out their additional feeding and pest control.
