<p>Herbicide is packaged in a plastics container 28 which comprises a rigid wall component (38), and a flexible wall component 40 which collapses inwardly in order to reduce the volume of the container as herbicide is withdrawn. A rigid cover 41 preferably covers the flexible component, the cover having a vent hole 49 and being welded to an outer peripheral wall 32 of a rim of the rigid component 41 while the flexible component 40 is welded to an inner peripheral wall 48. The container is removably mounted in the handset of a lance for distributing the herbicide, a connector outlet element 52 on the rigid component engaging with an end fitting 54 of a tube 10 leading to a distributing head having a spinning disc and motor. A former with heating element may be used to seal the components together (Figures 6 and 7) such that initially the flexible component is applied against the internal surface of the rigid wall component. The container may comprise an annular rigid wall portion with two flexible wall portions. <IMAGE></p> |
