  • Patent number: 9949446
    Abstract: A canopy treatment system to treat plants is disclosed. In one implementation according to examples of the present disclosure, a method comprises moving a canopy treatment system proximate to a plant to be treated, the canopy treatment system including a hot fluid generating system and a canopy, the canopy defining a treatment region and in fluid communication with the hot fluid generating system. The method further comprises lowering the canopy relative to the hot fluid generating system to position the canopy around the plant with the plant within the treatment region of the canopy; and heating the plant within the canopy.
