A postemergence sprayer with adjustable width row shields was designed and constructed to apply nonselective herbicides between the crop rows while shielding the emerged crop. An over‐the‐row spray boom is mounted beneath the row shields for banding selective herbicides over‐the‐row. The implement was used successfully in no‐tillage corn ( Zea mays L.), dry beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.), and sugar beets ( Beta vulgaris L.).
