ABSTRACT
There are many types of pesticides sprayer are available in India. But mostly used
sprayer is backpack type sprayer which is used by farmers because it is cheaper,
easy to use and main thing about it is less costly. With the help of this machine
farmer spray pesticides in their farm, but it requires lot of time and thus high
operational cost. Also, the farmer which is spraying pesticides is affected by it as it
is harmful to human health and human also affect by the lumbar pain due to weight
of equipment. This method used lots of time and affects human health adversely.
This paper suggests machines which will save time and operational cost. Also
saves human from affecting adversely.
The technological advancements are used to required scale in industrial sector, but
agricultural sector still uses obsolete methods. Thus with this as a major area of
concern, this project deals with the development of wireless dual control solar
powered smart insecticide and fertilizer spraying machine to help Farmers. The
proposed machine should be able to spray insecticides pesticides and fertilizers
using a tank provided onto the machine. The dual mode control permits the control
of machine using remote controller. In addition the proposed machine should have
the ability to adjust the height of spraying for different crops.
CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING PRINCIPLE
The machine consists of the main body frame, battery, DC Motor, Nozzles, Pipes,
Wheels, Tank and DC Pump. This is the four wheel drive machine. All the four
wheels are individually driven by 30 RPM DC Motor. Frame is made up of mild
steel. Its width 35 cm, length 50 cm and height is 30 cm. The main frame is
covered from all the sides with plywood sheets. Vertical arm is attached at centre
of back side of main frame, carrying horizontal arm. The nozzles are fitted to the
pipes which are attached with the vertical and horizontal arm. The horizontal arm
is movable on vertical arm. The tank is kept at the centre of the body. The DC
Pump is kept at the back side of the tank while the battery is kept at the front side
of same. The Remote is used to operate the vehicle. Rang of the remote is 50m.
The power source to run this machine is DC Battery. Battery is of 12V 9A. 30
RPM DC Motors which are directly attached to the wheels is run on the battery.
Also the DC Pump is run on the battery. When vehicle moves forward then at the
same time pump discharges liquid from tank towards the nozzle fitted to pipe. As 4
nozzles are attached therefore pressure reduces at each nozzle. There are 2 nozzles
at each side through which mixture of water and pesticides comes out and form
solid spray patter as our nozzle is of solid spray patter and liquid falls on plants.
Nozzle angle for spraying is 90 degree so we can cover large area with a single
nozzle.
OBJECTIVES
In this entire course of project our major objective is to change the obsolete
methods being currently followed in Indian agriculture systems. The objectives of
the project are outlined as below:
To design a machine which can carry a pesticide/fertilizer spraying tank on it

and can be move across the fields.
To add the ability to change the height of spraying using liner traversing
mechanisms, this can enable the developed machine to spray at different heights
for different crops.
To construct this machine in such a way that it can travel across any type of
terrain.
To make this machine solar powered, so that it can be readily charges using the
energy received from the sun.
By meeting all these objectives we plan to develop a complete solution

conventional spraying which is usually done manually. The project easily be
implemented in any type of field and can be used for spraying any type of crops as
the machine is also equipped electronic spray height adjustment system. Further
the machine implements dual mode control.
METHODOLOGY
The methodology for carrying out the project is divided into following phases.
1. The mechanical fabrication:
The mechanical fabrication involves the fabrication of the frame onto which all the
other components will be mounted. The frame consists of 4 wheels which are used
for navigation of the frame and it is fabricated in such a way that it can hold all the
components properly in a balance manner. After the frame is fabricated it is
equipped with DC geared motors of high torque which can help to move the frame
based on signals received from the microcontroller.
2. The Fertilizer/ Pesticide spray implementation:
After the Frame the pesticide tank will be incorporated onto the machine which be
used to store the fertilizers and pesticides. The tank is equipped with a high
pressure pump which will pump the liquid from tank and spray it.
3. The Microcontroller selection and interfacing with motors:
The microcontroller is selected in this phase. The microcontroller selection plays

an important role. In this phase the microcontroller selected is interfaced with
motors using the motors drivers for direction control.
4. The sprayer height adjustment system to cover different crops:
To make the machine to be used for crops of larger height such as sugarcane and
also smaller height ex. Chickpea, this phase involves incorporating the machine
with mechanisms which can be used to adjust height of the sprayer. The system is
mechanical system which can be controller using signals from microcontroller,
which drive the actuators connected onto the system.
5. The Solar panel and charge controller implementation:
In this phase finally the machine is incorporated with a solar panel which can be
used to provide all the energy to the machine.
6. Assembly and testing:
In this phase the difference components are assembled to make a full fledged
machine.
7. Testing And Optimization:
This is the final phase of the project in which the machine is tested and optimized
for performance.
