Multi-Nozzle Pesticide Sprayer for Agriculture

Abstract

In the agricultural sector, farms are producing more productively thanks to automated spraying systems. This has resolved the labor issue. However, things are different in a location like India, where automation in the agricultural sector is challenging and the majority of Indian farmers are not in good financial standing. Consequently, there are several uses for the manually operated pesticide sprayer under these circumstances. Small-scale farmers highly value manually lever-driven backpack sprayers due to their affordability, design, and versatility. Two kinds of sprays are utilized in agriculture in nations like India: 1. Pump operated by hand; 2. Pump operated by fuel. The primary drawback of the hand-operated spray pump is that the farmer who uses it cannot use it continuously for longer than five to six hours because of the pump's weight. On the other hand, the fuel-operated spray pump needs fuel, which is costly and difficult to come by in remote areas. In this study, a manually operated multi-nozzle pesticide sprayer pump model is proposed that will reduce farmer fatigue while spraying at maximum rate in the shortest amount of time without requiring fuel.
