Abstract
A spraying machine for application of treating liquids to cultivated fields, the machine including one span having a proximal end, that is a pivot point, and a distal end and including a plurality of span sections, with each span section having one electric motor control valve assembly and a plurality of nozzles arranged along each span section in a pattern such that the nozzles in a span section close to the proximal end of the span are closer to each other as compared to the nozzles in a span section towards the distal end of the machine.

- for the overhang section,
- S:
- the separation between nozzles along the section,
- S0:
- is the maximum separation for the two nozzles closer to the pivot point;
- and
- Sn:
- is the separation between the two nozzles farthest from the pivot point.
