sprayings

Coating with droplets

Sprayings are instances of spraying—applying liquid in fine droplets over a surface or area.

The word appears most often in agricultural and pest-control contexts: Multiple sprayings were needed to control the infestation.

It can also refer to applications of paint, water, or other substances dispersed as mist.
