Abstract

Application of crop protection compounds to randomized small plots with motorized sprayers can be a cumbersome process for field researchers. A motorized, high clearance spraying system has been developed that allows precise application of spray mixtures to randomized plots without driving along alleys between blocks or changing sprayate bottles between treatments. A description of the spraying system is given.
