Apparatus for the application of forage additive and method

摘要

The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for spraying forage additives on harvested agricultural crops and includes a container (24) of concentrated additive, an atomizing spray nozzle (22), a metering pump (28) for supplying the forage additive to the spray nozzle and an electrical control (70) for actuating the metering to provide a supply of concentrated additive to the spray nozzle as desired. In a preferred embodiment, the forage additive container is of a sufficiently small size that it contains less than three thousand millilitres of the concentrated additive for spraying on the harvested crop.
