ABSTRACT

In order to meet the food requirements of the growing population and

rapid industrialization, modernization of agriculture is inescapable. Mechanization
enables the conservation of inputs through precision in metering ensuring better
distribution, reducing quantity needed for better response and prevention of losses or
wastage of inputs applied. Mechanization reduces unit cost of production through
higher productivity and input conservation. Farmers are using the same methods and
equipment for the ages. In our country farming is done by traditional way, besides that
there is large development of industrial and service sector as compared to that of
agriculture. The spraying is traditionally done by labor carrying backpack type sprayer
which requires more human effort. The weeding is the generally done with the help of
Bulls which becomes costly for farmers having small farming land. So to overcome
these above two problems a machine is developed which will be beneficial to the
farmer for the spraying and weeding operations.

Key Words— mechanization, back type sprayer, weeding, modernization
