Abstract:
1. A portable vegetation treatment system, comprising: a primary pump having a discharge port and having an intake port configured to couple with a diluent source having a diluent; a secondary pump having a discharge port and having an intake port configured to couple with a reservoir containing a chemically-based fluid, wherein the secondary pump meters, substantially maintains flow rate of the chemically-based fluid, and substantially limits migration of the chemically-based fluid when the system is in a passive state; an intake-port assembly located between the diluent source and the primary pump intake port and also located between the secondary pump discharge port and the primary pump intake port, the intake-port assembly receives and combines the diluent and the chemically-based fluid before the diluent and the chemically-based fluid enter the primary pump intake port so that only the combined diluent and chemically-based fluid pass though the primary pump intake port; and a distribution assembly coupled to the discharge port of the primary pump that discharges the combined diluent and chemically-based fluid without any intervening flow direction changing control structure between the primary pump and the distribution assembly.
