The present invention relates to a knife for and a method of zero till or minimum till seeding and fertilizing. The knife is particularly adapted for dry land conditions producing minimum solid disturbance and very shallow operation. The knife has a high penetration angle preferably of 45 degrees which permits the blade to enter high trash surface cover with little tendency to plug due to trash accumulation. The blade has a forward angle of attack, the lower cutting edge advancing before the upper cutting edge, serving to make a clean cut in the soil surface without accumulating trash. Seed and/or fertilizer conduits are attached to or incorporated in the trailing face of the blade in which the outlets may be spaced for controlled placement of the materials. By the method a furrow is cut having a substantial transverse component in an operation with a substantial forward component. A preferred embodiment includes a horizontal extension blade for cutting a horizontal swath at a shallow depth through weed growth. Conduits may be secured to the extension to allow greater separation and control of material placement. The knives may be arranged in overlapping configuration on the draw bar to affect weed cutting, seeding and fertilizing of a complete with of soil in a single pass. |

A plow and method of fabricating a plow is disclosed. The plow includes an elongated frame. One or more shear assemblies are affixed to the frame in a spaced relationship along a length of the frame, wherein each of the one or more shear assemblies includes a shearing blade disposed at a distal end of the shear assembly and configured to operate below the surface of the soil to sever the roots of planted vegetation as the plow is pulled through a field. One or more cylinder assemblies are rotatably affixed to the frame and positioned parallel to the one or more shear assemblies and configured to rotate as the plow is pulled through a field. The one or more cylinder assemblies include a plurality of radially extending cylinder blades configured to mulch the soil and press the severed vegetation into the soil. |

An ozone containing gas is injected into soil, preferably relatively dry and approximately uniform in consistency, to kill biological life forms. A soil injector injects ozone containing gas from an ozone supplier. In one embodiment, the ozone supplier is moved over the field by a structure such as a trailer or a vehicle. In another embodiment, a lattice arrangement of conduits is used to inject the ozone containing gas into the soil. The soil is optionally covered with a gas semipermeable or impermeable membrane subsequent to or prior to injection of the ozone containing gas. In yet another embodiment, the soil is transferred to a chamber and subjected to in-vitro ozone treatment. In accordance with this invention, the soil is exposed to a sufficient concentration of ozone for a sufficient period of time such that the ozone oxidizes the impurities thereby reducing detrimental organisms, and thus sanitizing the soil. |

A sub-soil injection device injects a soil additive, such as a pesticide, as included in a foam below the surface of soil. It concurrently distributes the foam into soil as the foam is injected resulting in an improved uniformity of distribution of soil additive in soil. The device comprises a tubular structure which mounts into the soil from a vehicle. It has first and second portions, leading and trailing portions, a lumen along its length, lateral portions and a plurality of spaced apart ports. Each port communicates the lumen with the trailing portion. Foam flowing out the ports moves backwardly. A shank structure precedes and shields the leading portion of the member. The shank structure has a forward-facing portion adapted to cut through soil. The shank structure and member are motivated by the vehicle in a forward direction through the soil. An apparatus utilizing the shank structure, the vehicle and a foam generator and a method of depositing a soil additive plowing in of foam are also set forth. |

An apparatus that treats and/or fixes soil gases liberated during plowing. An upper portion of a plow blade comprises a detachable panel made from a catalyst metal and behind the detachable panel is an electric resistance heater. A compressed fluid hose and nozzle located proximate the upper portion of the plow blade supplies reactants which react with a soil gas in the presence of a catalyst and heat. |

This invention provides a new method of ploughing in which the cut ridge is inverted in its own furrow. The plough for doing this consists of at least two upright main bodies (4) parallelly spaced and elongated in the ploughing direction. At the front portion the respective main body is provided with a ploughshare (6) extending in the horizontal plane. A mouldboard (7) designed in known manner extends from the rear edge of the share on the side of the one main body facing the second main body, while a second mouldboard (8) is arranged on the other main body on the side thereof facing the first main body. The second mouldboard (8) turns from an upright position connecting to the front portion of the main body (4) to a position where the lower edge of the mouldboard diverges from the main body at an even level while the upper edge of the plate (8) approaches that level. |

William R. Watson |
A lubricating system for plow blades has a plurality of tube outlets positioned near a bottom portion of a plow blade and aligned to expel a dilute polymer lubricating fluid upward and onto a surface of the plow blade. As the plow blade scrapes up ground material, the scrapings distribute the lubricating fluid over the surface of the plow blade. Each of the tube outlets is supplied with lubricating fluid from a storage container via individual pumps. |

A combined plow and anhydrous ammonia fertilizer dispenser wherein the ammonia tank is connected to the plow so as to be drawn over unplowed ground. Hose means lead from the tank to the individual plow blades and dispense fertilizer beneath the soil being turned over in the furrows. The hoses are held in position by novel wear-reducing clamps. A further embodiment combines a chisel plow and fertilizer dispenser. The plow blades have hoses mounted thereon by clamps. Some of the plow blades which are located rearwardly of other plow blades push the dirt into the furrows cut by the forwardly located plow blades and also cover the exhaust end of the hoses with dirt causing the fertilizer to be retained in the soil.
