That 20" nozzel spacing dates to the time all corn was planted in 40" rows and every other nozzel was a drop tube spraying out sideways to just get the bottom of the corn plant and weeds and not the top of the corn plant as at that time doing over the top spraying would kill the corn. The nozel over the row was replaced with a blank so it was shut off. When you wanted to spray like a wheat field you took off the drops and blanks and put a nozel on each spacing. And you adjusted the overlap depending on the type of nozzel by adjusting the height of the boom. When 30" rows came the normal if the drops were adjustable on boom as with a hose between they were moved to a 15" spacing or on pipe type booms they were drilled at the 15" spacing with more adapters put on and used while the orignal non used 20" spacing outlets were closed off with the blank nozels. You just had to calibrate differently as all nozel charts were set up for the 40" row spacing and for consistance they were kept the same. With todays moddern sprays for over the top spraying and no drops being used it makes no difference.
