Abstract: A plant injection system includes an injection tool configured to penetrate a plant and distribute a liquid formulation to the plant. The injection tool includes a base having an inlet port and a penetrating distribution body extending along a longitudinal body axis. The penetrating distribution body includes a penetrating element and one or more distribution ports in communication with the inlet port. The one or more distribution ports are spaced from the penetrating element. The injection tool includes penetrating and distribution configurations. In the penetrating configuration the penetrating element is configured to penetrate the plant along the longitudinal body axis. In the distribution configuration the one or more distribution ports are configured to distribute the liquid formulation to the plant transversely relative to one or more penetrating directions, at least one of the penetrating directions corresponding to the longitudinal body axis.

Abstract: Provided herein are injection tools (100; 200; 300; 400; 500) for use in injection systems configured to penetrate a plant and distribute a liquid formulation to the plant. The injection tool includes a base (104; 204; 304; 404; 504) with one or more inlets (122; 222; 322; 422; 522) to receive liquid formulation, and a penetrating distribution body (102; 202; 302; 402; 502) connected to the base (104; 204; 304; 404; 504). The penetrating distribution body (102; 202; 302; 402; 502) includes a cutting element (110; 210; 310; 410; 510), and a plurality of distribution reservoirs (128; 228; 328; 428; 528) arranged in one or more rows that are positioned between the cutting element (110; 210; 310; 410; 510) and the base (104; 204; 304; 404; 504). Primary distribution channels (126; 226; 326; 426; 526) connect the one or more of the inlets (122; 222; 322; 422; 522) to the plurality of distribution reservoirs (128; 228; 328; 428; 528).

Abstract: Provided herein are chassis for use in injection systems configured to penetrate a plant and distribute a liquid formulation to the plant, and the method of using the chassis.

Abstract: A plant injection system includes an injection tool configured to penetrate a plant and distribute a liquid formulation to the plant.
