Abstract: A double shoot dispensing system including a shank for opening a treatment trench, a seed shovel for creating left and right seed shelves above and on opposite sides of the treatment trench, and a two-piece boot body having a plurality of internal passages defined by assembled left and right halves of the body. A first passage directs the seeds onto the seed shelves, a second passage directs a granular fertilizer treatment into the treatment trench, and first and second tube passages receive first and second tubes delivering additional treatments into the treatment trench. Left and right ducts branch from the first passage so as to guide the deposit of the seeds. The body is constructed of a material having a relatively low mass and a relatively low coefficient of friction, such as polyurethane, polyethylene, nylon, or polyacetal, and is externally shaped so as to taper in a direction of travel.

Abstract: A disk opener includes a disk blade for creating a furrow and a closing wheel for closing it. An injection zone is defined generally below and up to slightly forward of the closing wheel. An anhydrous ammonia injector is mounted between the blade and the wheel and delivers anhydrous ammonia via a delivery tube into the furrow at an injection point within the injection zone. The injection point is also preferably centered within the furrow.
