Abstract
A self-aligning row crop spraying device includes a parallelogram-shaped device comprised of a pair of guide support members disposed parallel to each other and a pair of transverse members also parallel to each other. One of the transverse members is fixed to a structure allowing the remainder of the parallelogram-shaped device to move freely about the transverse member. A pair of guide members form a channel for receiving plants. The device allows a spray nozzle to remain aligned with a row of crops throughout the spraying process.
