Extract

The most economical time to control invading noxious shrubs is at an early stage in the invasion, when stands are sparse. One method of doing this is with a ground spray rig (Fig. 1). With such a rig the problem is to get the guns out from the vehicle so that a reasonable-sized swath can be covered. The out-rigger apparatus described herein can be used to cover a swath of 50 feet where the brush is fairly dense, to 90 feet on sparser stands.
