Radhey Shyam Sharma (Bullock operated sprayer)
Madhya Pradesh
Bhanjibhai Mathukia
Gujarat
The bullock operated sprayer is pulled by a pair of bullocks and gets the drive from the ground through a gear box and belt pulley system.
When the operator shifts the lever to a higher gear, the frequency of strokes of the pump increases as a result of which more pressure develops in the container. The spray fluid, thus, atomizes into fine droplets with a wider swath.
This sprayer considerably reduces time requirement as compared to manual spraying and also the drudgery and health hazards involved in manual spraying.
It has 18 nozzles, spaced at a distance of 35 cm and can cover 3.5 acre/h.
