Field sprayers have been used increasingly from about 1980. Some such as this and NAL #4813 and #4814 are designed for row crops such as soybeans and corn (NAL #4815), and others for field crops such as hay (NAL #4816) and small grains. They may be used to apply liquid fertilizers, herbicides to control weeds (instead of cultivating) and/or insecticides. Sprayer tires are designed for minimal damage to field crops and for minimal compaction of soil. Some crops may be given a pre-emergence spray shortly after planting during the spring and one or more post-emergence sprays during the main growing season. This image typifies equipment used commercially in the US in 2005.
