“…High-pressure techniques (Himelick, 1972;Reil and Beutel, 1976;Sachs etal., 1977) offer much improved uptake rates but are more costly and usually rely on bottled gas as a pressure source; this is not always readily available in developing countries. In this paper a low-to medium-pressure trunk injection system is described which has given high rates of uptake of solutions injected into clove trees; a similar system has been marketed by the Elm Research Institute (Harrisville, New Hampshire, U.S.A.) (Nair, 1981).…”

In Zanzibar, East Africa, trunk injection techniques are being used to investigate the aetiology of sudden-death disease of clove trees, Eugenia caryophyllus (Sprengel) Bullock and Harrison. A low-pressure trunk injection system is described which has proved itself capable of frequently injecting 5 / of solution into trees in less than 1 h. Uptake rates for injections using two different designs of injection nozzle and different chemical solutions are presented and compared.
