Bank Cutter for Grass Banks

Knapsack

This tool is used for spraying herbicides, pesticides and Insecticides on the bowling green.

Knapsack

It has different nozzles for these purposes as listed below:

  • The HOLLOW CONE for FUNGICIDES and HERBICIDES. Low volume to high pressure 40 litres per green.
  • The FLAT FAN for PESTICIDES and INSECTICIDES. High volume to low pressure 80 litres per green.

An inert coloured powder can be added to the knapsack to indicate which areas of the green have been sprayed. However a more common practice is to string the green into equal parts and apply equally to each designated area.

Spraying should be done at walking speed approximately 1metre per second. At that speed this should give 4 fillings per green.

This tool is used when replacing sods in bare areas.

It is important to know that when a sod is removed from the green it is important to replace the new sod from the edge of the green and the edge must be replaced from the nursery.

When replacing a sod it must be replaced in the same direction as the one removed from the edge of the green.
