Field sprayers have been used increasingly from about 1980. Some such as this are designed for field crops such as hay and small grains. Others are designed for use on row crops such as soybeans (NAL #4812, #4813, and #4814) and corn (NAL #4815). 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.
