FABRICATION OF SOLAR BASED POWER SPRAYER FOR AGRICULTURE- A REVIEW

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.
