FABRICATION OF SOLAR BASED POWER SPRAYER FOR AGRICULTURE- A REVIEW

Abstract

 In agricultural sector generally farmer uses traditional way of spraying pesticides and 
insecticides is done by farmers, carrying backpack type sprayer on shoulder to spray. Which 
requires more human effort, costly and consume time efficiency and it causes human risk. The 
above problems can be solved our power sprayer. Sprayers are mechanical devices that are 
specifically designed to spray liquids quickly and easily. This study articulates solar operated spray 
pump for agriculture purpose. This type of sprayer covers large area and easy to operate. A solar 
sprayer typically consists of a tank for carrying the liquid to be sprayed, here we use solar panel 
which converts heat energy into electrical energy that stores into the battery, motor is for pumping 
out of liquid in tank, spray nozzles on automatically disperse the liquid in a downward direction 
over an considerable area, a chassis is mounted on the wheels and hose is attached for spraying. 
The device is mechanically pushed from behind and as the supply to the pump is switched on, the 
liquid is sprayed. Giving attention to these important problems an attempt is made to develop 
equipment which will be beneficial to the farmer for the spraying operations. This study focused 
on solar based power sprayer for spraying operation. This type of sprayer reduced spraying time, 
human effort and cost.
