Day by day the population of India is rising. So it is important to fulfill the need of food, modernization of agriculturalsectors. Farmers in our country use fertilizers and pesticides on crops for removing weeds and other unwantedvegetation, insecticides for controlling a wide variety of insects, preventing the spread of bacteria, and compoundsused to control mice and rats. Conventionally the spraying is done by farmers carrying backpack sprayer andfertilizers are sprayed manually. It is very harmful to their health and can be dangerous. The efforts required are onthe higher side. Pesticide spraying machine is available in the market so there is no issue. But it is acquiring high costfor buying two separate equipment’s for fertilizer and pesticide spraying which isn’t affordable to farmers. So bytaking into consideration the present problem faced by farmers we are coming up with the solution of “Dual Sprayerfor Pesticides and Fertilizers”. The aim of our project is to minimize the health issues of the farmer, to provide morefeasibility with minimum possible cost, to reduce the efforts of farmers of fertilizer spraying and provide bothfertilizer and pesticide sprayer in one setup.
