Someone below mentioned the wick applicator. This is minefor wiping the tall weeds above the cranberries. You could easily adapt the roller onto the back of a 3 Pt hitch sprayer.
The roller is an old piece of 4" aluminum irrigation pipe with an insert and 1/2" shaft in each end. It is driven by a surplus windshield wiper motor. It runs maybe 20-30 rpm to keep the herbicide from dripping and to wipe against the weeds for better coverage. The pipe is wrapped in outdoor carpet which acts like a sponge to hold what ever herbicide you want... I put 15-20 glyphosate or and 2:4d if required.
The 1/2" pvc had 1/16" holes drilled every 1/2-3/4" along the bottom. Once the roller is damp I just give it a squirt every so often to keep it topped up. If there is too much it will drip on the crop below.
Usually go very slow and wipe in two directions. In a 20 acre field it would take at least 3-4 hours each direction.
If you don't have much maybe a a hockey stick wiper would be better. Google Red Weeder
As far as what herbicide would work for you I have no idea. Good luck. Grant
