Abstract: A portable agricultural field and crop sprayer vehicle produces and applies ozonated water to a field of growing crops, such as but not limited to Vidalia onions, to treat or prevent various bacterial or fungal diseases. The tractor vehicle includes equipment which dissolves ozone in water while traversing a field and maintains the dissolved ozone at a desired concentration so that freshly ozonated water is sprayed directly onto the growing crops at an optimum selected concentration.
