Abstract The design of a rugged, trouble‐free system for applying liquid soil fumigants is discussed. The system is built around a tractor‐mounted shank chisel plow and utilizes automotive electric fuel pumps to propel the liquid. Simple, nonclogging discharge tips are an important feature of the design.
