Swedish term or phrase: Spruta
Töm sprutan genom bom/spridare på senast behandlade grödan. Töm sprutan genom bom och munstycken på lämplig plats.

Spruta has a whole lot of meanings, but when it comes to pest control/crop spraying, "sprayer" is the one that comes to mind (to me at least). Great, but what is "spridare" then if not "sprayer" too. Could spruta be "atomizer". Or "spridare" something else, say, sprinkler (as stupid as it sounds...)?

sprayer
Explanation:
I think you might have to use sprayer for both your spruta and your spreader.
