Abstract

The invention relates to a mobile spraying apparatus, particularly for the treatment of plants. This apparatus comprises a spray-distributor which is carried above the ground by a tractor vehicle or trailer vehicle in an approximately horizontal position. The distributor is suspended below a support carried by the vehicle in the manner of a pendulum, by means of a ball-and-socket bearing, so as to remain approximately horizontal, and it is guided by rollers rolling on appropriate surfaces.
