 [Y]WO03026414  (TINDALL DENIS WALTER [NZ], et al) [Y] 1-15* please view the section of the description: "Best modes to carry out the inveniton" This apparatus and method is particularly useful to enable better application of heat in places where application is difficult, for example dense swards and vegetation substantially above 200mm in height. The application is less confined by surface conditions and obstacles since the foam adheres to vertical surfaces and does not run off like liquids. The residence time of hot foam on target areas is greater than that of hot water. The evaporation rate of wet foams is less, resulting in longer contact with the target. Also, foams provide visual evidence of coverage of the application area. Faster and more long-lasting control of weeds is provided, compared to the known hot air foam method. *;
