Insects are largely responsible for the crop destruction. To tackle this problems man-made insecticides and pesticides are sprayed over the plants in farms which kill the existing pests and avoids their reproduction. Mechanical equipments called sprayers are used in spraying processes. The most commonly used sprayer type is knapsack sprayer. The existing sprayers has certain drawbacks like In conventional type pesticide sprayer, the heavy tank containing pesticide is carried by the farmer on his back and requires a lot of human efforts for spraying. For effecient spraying of the pesticide operator has to hold the nozzle properly in the desired direction. Another type sprayer is fuel operated and requires expensive fuel i.e. Diesel or petrol. Thus the load on back of the farmer increases causes health issues. Such problems can be overcome by manually operated multi-nozzle sprayer as discussed in this project.
