Abstract :
India is a land of agriculture that comprises of
small, marginal, medium and rich farmers. Small-scale
farmers are very interested in manually lever-operated
knapsack sprayer because of its versatility, cost, and
design. But this sprayer has certain limitations like it
cannot maintain required pressure; it leads to the
problem of back pain. However, this equipment can also
lead to misapplication of chemicals and ineffective control
of target pest which leads to loss of pesticides due to
dribbling or drift during application. This phenomenon
not only adds to cos of production but also cause
environmental pollution and imbalance in natural echo
system.
Keywords :
Insecticide sprayer, domestic application.
