Abstract
Spraying of pesticides is a need of a farmer to protect plant,so it is important to invent multioperational technique for these so,In
this project well take a look at solar operated mechanical boom sprayers. A sprayer of this type is a great way to cover large areas
such as lawns, orange, mango farms quickly and easily. A sprayer typically consists of a tank for carrying the liquid to be sprayed,
a solar panel, a motor (19 W) for pumping out this liquid, spray nozzles on a boom that automatically disperse the liquid in a
downward direction over an appreciable area (say 5 or 6 feet), ball valves, a chassis with wheels on which the sprayer is mounted,
and a hose attachment for spraying. Also attached grass cutter, plant cutter, etc. The device is mechanically pushed from behind
and as the supply to the pump is switched on, the liquid is sprayed. This type of sprayers is typically used for spraying lawn
chemicals such as pesticides including herbicides, insecticides and fungicides.

INTRODUCTION

From time immemorial, the sun has been the prime source of energy for life on earth. The solar energy was being used directly for
purposes like drying clothes, curing agricultural produce, preserving food articles, etc. Even today, the energy we derive from fuelwood, petroleum, paraffin, hydroelectricity and even our food originates indirectly from sun. Solar energy is virtually
inexhaustible. The total energy we receive from the sun far exceeds our energy demands. Ever since the industrial revolutions
human have been dependent on fuels, electricity and wind energy.
For human development in many countries there is research and trials are going on the Solar energy and the wind energy, So we
make our new concept solar operated mechanical boom sprayer in these concept we spray pesticides on the agricultural products
or on small plants in lawns and gardens. Well-maintained lawns and gardens can create a beautiful, functional landscape around
your home and provide shelter for a variety of wildlife. Through good cultural and integrated pest management (IPM) practices,
the outdoor greens cape in the urban environment can remain healthy and thriving.
Along with proper plant selection and care, controlling pests in your lawn or garden is an important part of maintenance. Many
cultural practices complement IPM control methods, such as: efficient and appropriate watering practices and judicious use of
pesticides.
II. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
Spraying Methods:
Backpack (knapsack) sprayer One type of backpack sprayer is a compressed air sprayer with a harness that allows it to be carried
on the operator's back it create the operator back paining problems002E

Another type of backpack sprayer has a hand-operated hydraulic pump that forces liquid pesticide through a hose and one or more
nozzles. Some of this type of arrangement paining problems observed in handsprayers can generate pressures of 100 pounds per
square inch (psi) or more.
Cutting Method:
For Cutting and removing the grass and small plants extra cutting operations are occur i.e. it is costlier process.
Power:
If we are using electric power for working more power electric power is used. In the village continuous operation in farm is not
possible due to the heavy load shading.
III. PROPOSED MULTI OPERATED EQUIPMENT
We are trying to make the operation easy and multiple as well. The spraying of pesticide with the help of sprayer is done and
cutting operation is also done to add multi operation. The trolley is being designed like to push or pull in any direction and it can
rotate 360 degree around its centre. The sprayers are operated on solar power. In absence of solar power we can easily use electric
power as well. The tank is detachable and trolley should be mounted to collect the grass cut.
IV. ACCESSORIES
Sprayers :
Sprayers are mechanical devices that are specifically designed to spray liquids quickly and easily. They come in a number of
different varieties. In this project well take a look at solar operated mechanical boom sprayers. A sprayer of this type is a great
way to cover large areas such as lawns quickly and easily.
Solar Panel:
Photovoltaic cells are devices which collect the light and convert it into electricity. The cells are wired in series, sealed between
sheets of glass or plastic, and supported inside a metal frame. These frames are called solar modules or panels. They are used to
power a variety of applications ranging from calculators and wrist-watches to complete home systems and large power plants.PV
cells are made of thin silicon wafers; a semi-conducting material similar to that used in computer chips. When sunlight is absorbed
by these materials, the solar energy knocks electrons loose from their atoms, allowing the electrons to flow through the material to
produce electricity. This process of converting light (photons) to electricity (voltage) is called the photovoltaic effect.
Cutter :
Cutter are mechanical devices that are specifically designed to cut unwanted grass quickly and easily. In this project we are using
the D.C. motor for working of cutter. We are going to attach the cutters on both the side of trolley and at the bottom as well. The
D.C. motor is operated on solar power.

VI. FUTURE MODIFICATION

Automatic irrigation system can be mounted on the front side of frame. System is human power hence we try to developing as a
exercise m/c.The whole system can be made by using solar system. Can be used to light a bulb. We can embedded telescopic pipe
having certain height.
VII. CONCLUSION
This Technology is most suitable for Energy Alternate Device for power sprayers. The farming community is more dynamic and
they can accept the proved technology for implementation. Moreover the same technique and technology can also be extended for
all types of power sprayers. Reduce man efforts.
