A plant protection system which utilizes a housing and a heat source is disclosed. In one embodiment, the invention includes a truncated cone shaped housing which is positioned on the ground so as to surround the tree or other plant. The heat source may, for example, include a water pipe and spray emitter located within the housing to provide water in spray form near ground level adjacent the tree. A deep well may be used as the water source, thus providing water at a temperature higher than the ambient temperature. As the warm water spray rises within the housing, heat is transferred to the interior of the housing. An extension having side walls in the form of an inverted cone may be secured to the upper end of the housing to provide a further heating effect. Any of various designs and constructions for the housing and the extension may be employed. The heating means may also be provided from any of various sources and materials.

A bin for the transportation of citrus fruit comprises a rigid fabricated frame having a substantially continuous top rim and an integral shape retaining tub of molded synthetic plastic mounted within and attached to the frame with the upper edges of the tub extending around substantially coextensively within the rim. The tub retains its shape even with a full load of fruit and has a bottom wall formed with an intermediate upstanding conical portion that is provided with perforations for promoting aeration of the fruit in the bin.

A low volume spray device for irrigation systems has a lower tubular end portion that is beveled to facilitate its insertion into a plastic conduit. Its upper end forms a nozzle portion with a small orifice and a deflector that controls the spray pattern. The device is preferably molded from plastic material so as to be inexpensive yet long lasting.
