APPLICATION DEVICES, EQUIPMENTS AND METHODS TO ISOLATE DELIVERY OF EXOGENOUS CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES ONTO PLANT FOLIAGE AREAS IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE RELEASE TO THE ENVIRONMENT
A method for applying a chemical to a plant includes peeling a protective cover sheet from a pad and from an adhesive surface of a bandage strip. The pad is impregnated with the chemical and is attached to or adhered to the bandage strip between the bandage strip and the cover sheet. The pad and the adhesive surface of the bandage strip are applied to a plant such that the bandage strip substantially seals the pad in contact with the plant.
