SOIL INJECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

Embodiments of a method and a system are provided to create a uniform layer of a substance such as a hydrogel or other fluid substance underneath the soil surface with minimal or little surface disturbance to the plants, the plant roots and the soil located on or slightly below the applied surface area. It is to be clearly understood that various different embodiments may be employed to deliver a variety of different substances to the soil, and such substances may be gels or liquids. The presently preferred fluid substance is currently a hydrogel, and the present illustrated and described embodiment may be employed to inject hydrogel into soil but other fluid substances may be injected as well.

主权项

1. A system for injecting a fluid substance into soil, comprising:
at least one injector probe, the injector probe having an inlet for reception of the fluid substance and having at least one outlet for dispersing the fluid substance under high pressure to the soil; a driver configured to drive the at least one injector probe into and out of the soil to and from a given level of the soil; and a rotator mechanism to rotate at least one injector probe about its axis to a different angular position to disperse fluid substance under high pressure from the at least one outlet for more uniform distribution thereof.
