Introduction:
Area: Agriculture / Farm Technology
 In India, almost 75% of the population are dependent on agricultural

for economic growth, So the agricultural system in our country
should be changed to reduce the manual efforts of farmers required
while farming.
 It includes the various operations is to be performed in the
agricultural field like sowing, ploughing, cutting, fertilizer spraying
in a manual manner by the farmers.
 Pesticide applications are considered significant during the plant
protection practices in current agriculture. Efficient use of pesticides
can helpful to control plant pests and diseases to increase the crop
yields. The use of agrochemicals can effectively enhance the
quantity and quality of crops.
Abstract:
 In the Indian economy, agriculture holds a dominant position. Due to
changes in climate and inflation of the insects, pests, etc. it is vital to
protect the crop damaged by insects using pesticides and fertilizers.
 The farmer has to carry the pesticide in the pump and then spraying
which is another rigorous task to be completed.
 Manual hand spraying of pesticides and herbicides to crops and weed
on the field are quite laborious work, cost effective and time
consuming process.
 Our project proposes a multipurpose solar powered, flexible, wheel
operated sprayer to help the farmers by reducing their efforts, cost and
enhance operation speed.
 The machine is used for increasing productivity and reduced labour
quantity involved in specific operation.
Reason for selecting the problem:
 Lack of farm mechanization in agriculture sector.
 Manual hand Spraying process required more efforts, man power
and labour cost.
 Excess time and cost consumption for performing individual process.
Future Scope:
 It is playing an enormous role in agricultural production and
management.
 Effective plant protection thus becomes essential to minimize
the losses Chemical application has been very successful in pest
and weed control, Specialized equipment is thus essential for
fully mechanized farming operation.
Objectives:
❖ To Design and development of wheel operated solar sprayer.
❖ To help the farmers by reducing their efforts & cost.
❖ To enhance the operation speed.
