SEED TREATMENT DEVICE

摘要

A seed treater having liquid conveyed under pressure to a plurality of nozzle shields in a fixed relationship to corresponding seed receivers in a seed box. When used with a grain box or a grain drill, the inventive device conveys material such as seed treatment under pressure to the nozzle shields with each of said nozzle shields having an orifice therein whereby a predetermined quantity of said material is ejected via each of said nozzle shields onto the seed. Where row crop planters are used, the material is conveyed under pressure to the individual seed boxes.
