STEM SMEARING EQUIPMENT FOR APPLICATION OF INSECTICIDES IN YOUNG COTTON CROP FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF SUCKING PESTS.

摘要

The newly evolved Stem Smearing equipment is simple; its body embodied with main handle Fig. 1/5 which bears secondary attachment of telescopic handle Fig. 2/5. Both facilitate operation and minimizes physical energy requirement for operating the instrument. It also facilitates to apply insecticide at target site to increase effectivity and save time. The automatic delivery system along with container for storing insecticide solution Fig. 3/5 is a unique system needs no power from any source and having automatic delivery mechanism. Smearing of insecticide directly applied on target site, which increases effectivity, no loss of insecticide or any material can be smeared by this equipment. This embodiment attached to the holder Fig. 4/5, which is a metallic holder which direction can be adjusted at desired angle and site. The treatment of insecticide by this newly evolved smearing equipment is highly economical as compared to conventional methods as it minimizes labour requirement, only one labour can operate, needs no specialization, application by this equipment minimizes quantity of insecticide required for effective treatment. Application by this equipment is also eco-friendly, non polluter as it does not allow any drift of insecticide solution. Hence, the newly evolved Stem Smearing equipment Fig. 5/5 is economical, Ecofriendly and easy to handle and effective as compare to conventional methods.
