An apparatus and process applying herbicide-containing liquid to weeds in a field also containing growing cultivated crops neighboring said weeds comprises means for moving an apparatus that transports a load of herbicide-containing liquid in a reservoir therefor along that field and then distributing that liquid from that reservoir to a weed-contacting surface: the pressure-controlled liquid reservoir provides the herbicide-containing liquid to any array of dispenser units arranged to rapidly and reliably and selectively and efficiently apply such herbicide-bearing liquid to the surface of weed plants in the field projecting above a neighboring cultivated crop without misapplication of such herbicide-containing liquids to such neighboring crops.

Apparatus for dispensing a liquid herbicide agent to weeds lying in a path of travel comprising, in combination: a support frame movable along the path of travel; a plurality of stand-off bars projecting forwardly of said support frame in the direction of travel along said path; a plurality of rope applicators each having end portions mechanically coupled to said support frame on opposite sides of a stand-off bar with an intermediate portion of each rope applicator being engaged and supported by a stand-off bar forwardly of and in spaced relation with said support frame whereby a length of each rope applicator is held in transverse relation to the path of travel and defining an acute angle with respect to the path of travel on opposite sides of each stand-off bar thereby defining a repeating “V”formation; and, means coupled in fluid communication with each rope applicator for wetting an end portion of each rope applicator with the liquid herbicide agent.
