Dear Subscribers,


I am forwarding herewith a self-explanatory message from Geoffrey Meikle
from the University of Fort Hare, South Africa. Geoffrey has been working
on a herbicide roller for weed control in CA situations.


Geoffrey would welcome input from CA-CoP subscribers who are working on
weed control in CA.


Please respond directly to Geoffrey.

 Dear Amir,



I have done some work on a herbicide roller for weed control in CA
situations.  The roller seems to be a workable tool.  A short report on
progress so far is attached.



The roller is simple to construct.  I would welcome input from people
working on weed control in CA.



Regards from
