ABSTRACT

Day by day the population of India is increasing and to fulfill the need of food
modernization of agricultural sectors are important. Due to chemical fertilizers the
fertility of soil is decreasing. Hence farmers are attracted towards organic farming. By
mechanization in spraying devices fertilizers and pesticides are distributed equally on the
farm and reduce the quantity of waste, which results in prevention of losses and wastage
of input applied to farm. It will reduce the cost of production. Mechanization gives higher
 productivity in minimum input. Farmers are
a re using
usin g same traditional methods
met hods for spraying
fertilizers and pesticides. Equipment is also the same for ages. In India there is a large
development in industrial sectors compared to agricultural sectors. Conventionally the
spraying is done by labors carrying backpack sprayer and fertilizers are sprayed
manually. The efforts required are more and beneficial by farmers having small farming
land. We know that today’s world faces a huge “energy crisis” problem. To meet the
future “energy demands”, the use of non-conventional
non -conventional energy as an alternate solution is
inescapable. A solar operated pesticide sprayer is a pump running on electricity generated
 by photovoltaic panels or the thermal energy avail able from collected sunlight as opposed
to grid electricity or diesel run water pumps. The operation of solar powered pumps is
more economical mainly due to the lower operation and maintenance costs and has less
environmental impact than pumps powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE). Solar
 pumps are useful where grid electricity is unavailable and alternative sources. The solar
sprayer has many advantages. Besides reducing the cost of spraying, there is a saving on
fuel/petrol. Also, the transportation cost for buying petrol is saved. The solar sprayer
maintenance is simple. There is less vibrations compared to the petrol sprayer. The farmer
can do the spraying operation by himself without engaging labour, thus increasing
spraying efficiency.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction

Spraying of pesticides is an important task in agriculture for protecting the crops from
insects. Farmers mainly use hand operated or fuel operated spray pump for this task. This
conventional sprayer causes user fatigue due to excessive bulky and heavy construction.
This motivated us to design and fabricate a model that is basically trolley based solar

it is not good for farmers health point of view during spraying in this way here we can
reduce the users fatigue level. There will be elimination of engine of fuel operated spray
 pump by which there will be reduction in vibrations and noise. The elimination of fuel
will make our spraying system eco-friendly. So, with this background, we are trying to
design and construct a solar powered spray pump system. Now days there are non-
conventional energy sources are widely used. The energy which is available from the sun
is in nature at free of cost. In India solar energy is available around 8 months in year. So,
it can be used in spraying operation. Solar pesticide sprayer can give less tariff or price in
effective spraying. Solar energy is absorbed by the solar panel which contains
 photovoltaic cells. The conversion of the solar energy into electrical energy is done by
these cells. This converted energy utilizes to store the voltage in the DC battery and that
 battery further used for driving the spray pump. Sprayer is a devi ce used to spray a liquid.
In agriculture, a sprayer is a piece of equipment that is used to apply herbicides,
 pesticides, and fertilizers on agricultural crops. Sprayers range in size from man portable

 prevented from rising in line with energy costs. Despite present short -term fluctuations in
oil prices, conventional oil-based engine-driven power sources and mains electricity are
expected to continue to increase in the longer term. If we are to decrease our dependence
on imported oil, we have to find methods for energizing irrigation pumps that are
independent of imported oil or centralized electricity. Solar radiation as a source of
energy is of course, the epitome of the clean. Sustainable energy technology except for
residues possibly arising out of the manufacture of solar component (e.g.
semiconductors), solar technology has very low environmental impacts.

1.2 Status of Agriculture in India


India is predominantly an agricultural based country with approximately 75% of
 population of India is very much dependent on farming either directly or indirectly. The
farmers have been using the same methods and equipment for ages for example the seed
sowing, spraying, weeding etc. operations are carried out by same techniques. There is
need for development of an effective spraying machine for increasing productivity levels.
Most of the late developing countries of Asia have the problem of higher population and
low levels of land productivity as of compared to the developed nations. One of the main
reasons for lower productivity is insufficient power availability for the farms and very
low levels of farm mechanization.
mechanizati on. This is especially true for India.

1.3 Statement of Problem


The Indian farmers (small, marginal, small and marginal, semi-medium) are currently
using lever operated backpack sprayer. A backpack sprayer consists of tank 10-20 litre
capacity carried by two adjustable straps. Constant pumping is required to operate this
which results in muscular disorder. Also, the backpack sprayer can’t maintain pressure,
results in drifts/dribbling. Developing adequate pressure is laborious and time consuming.

CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE SURVEY
Abhishek Jivrag, Vinayak Chawre, Aditya Bhagwat they described invention and
operation of multiple granulated pesticides duster with the use of solar energy. The
concoction is accomplished by the use of solar panel, impeller type centrifugal blower,
gear reduction mechanism, dispensers, D.C motors and batteries. In addition, the duster
has been equipped with a facility to operate on an electric supply, which serves beneficial
in the absence of sunlight. The device essentially works for disbursing solid granulated
(powder) form of pesticide. The operator controls the rate and discharge of different
 pesticides by means of push buttons and toggle switches. The technical specifications of
the device are worked and examined in a way to minimize the weight of the device and
deplete the feeder unit dispenser in a span of three hours [1].

R.Joshua, V.Vasu & P.Vincent they described “energy demand” is one of the major
 problems for our country. Finding solutions, to meet the “Energy demand” is the great
challenge for Social Scientist, Engineers Entrepreneurs and Industrialist of our Country.
According to them application non-conventional energy is the only alternate solution for
conventional energy demand. Now-a- days the concept and technology employing this
non-conventional energy became very popular for all kinds of development activities.
Solar energy plays an important role in drying agriculture products and for irrigation
 purpose for pumping the well water in remote village without electricity [2].

Scientist, Engineers. Now a day pesticide sprayer is operated based on fuel engine. This
operation is more economical. In order to overcome this, we found the new concept
known as “Solar Pesticide Sprayer”. In this pesticide sprayer is operated mainly based on
solar energy and hence there is no need of any kind of alternative source. It has many
advantages such as cost of spraying and also saving on Fuel/Petrol. There is less vibration
as compared to the petrol sprayer. Hence the system can be easily operated there is no
need of labours which increases the efficiency of farmers. Solar based pesticide sprayer is
one of the improved model of pesticide sprayer pumps. Sun is the source of all energy on
the earth. It is most abundant, inexhaustible and universal source of energy. All other
sources of energy draw their strength from the sun. India is blessed with plenty of solar
energy because most parts of the country receive bright sunshine throughout the year
except a brief monsoon period [4].

J. V. Bhanutej, S. Phani Kumar, B. Pradeep Kumar they described In India,


agriculture has a predominant role in our day to day life. The crops that come as yield
decides the total production, adds to the economy of our country. The yield decreases due
to the presence of pests, insects in the farms. To kill the pests, insect’s pesticides,
fertilizers are sprayed either manually or by using sprayers. Earlier, the pesticides and
fertilizers were sprinkled manually, but they will result in harmful effects on farmers. In
order to overcome this problem, different spraying techniques have been developed.
These sprayers consist of different mechanisms and the cost of equipment is generally
high. We developed a mechanism in which we tried to minimize the equipment cost by
removing the pump to spray. This Sprayer works on Bernoulli’s princi ple, in which the

future “energy demands”, the use of non-conventional energy as an alternate solution is
inescapable. In order to meet the food requirements of a growing population,
modernization of agriculture has become a necessity. In agriculture, spraying of

 battery. The solar energy stored in the battery is utilized to operate motor which functions
as a pump. In this project, we are trying to make a prototype model for farmers and
cultivators for whom spraying of insecticides is harmful and hazardous. The control of the
vehicle is achieved using an inbuilt microcontroller unit which is programmed to respond
to the Zig-Bee wireless device.
Their project demonstrates the implementation of robotics and mechatronics in the
field of agriculture. This being a test model the robustness of the vehicle is not very high.
The performance is satisfactory under laboratory condition. The model gave a fairly good
rate of area coverage and the cost of operation as calculated was also reasonably low. In
addition, the safety and long-term health of the farmers is ensured by eliminating human
labour completely from this process. It does not compromise the performance of a petrol-
 based pesticide sprayer. The future scope of this project includes build a full-scale
 prototype which can be utilized in the fields in rea l time. Facilitate charging of the battery
using a solar charger thus bringing the costs even further down. Battery energy can be
saved by using PWM scheme for driving pump [14].

agricultural economy. About 59 percent cultivable land needs irrigation. During dry
season and due to climate change, demand of electricity for electric power irrigation is
increasing. Irrigation by electric power is cheaper than diesel pump. Due to severe
shortage of electricity it is difficult to meet the demand. Harnessing solar power for
irrigation is a good alternative to grid electricity. This paper deals with the design,
technical and economic analysis of a low cost 1 hp (746 W) small size dc photovoltaic
water pumping system for irrigation. A buck converter is designed and constructed to
improve the performance of the dc pump. All components of the system are procured
locally except the solar panels. Solar photovoltaic pumping offers a way out to the
farmers of Bangladesh from the energy crisis.
This paper demonstrates that solar photovoltaic technology can be integrated to
irrigation systems in Bangladesh. Some technological challenges were overcome through
engineering solutions and showed a representative model can be implemented. Upfront
cost of the solar pumping systems potentially hinder to popularize the systems in rural
areas but private companies, bank and government can come forward for a solution that
can fit to rural people of Bangladesh. Advantages of the locally developed solar water
 pumping system are, cost of  indigenous solar water pumping systems will less than
imported ones, dependence on the demand of diesel and electricity will reduce,
maintenance cost will be less because imported systems after passing of one-year
(guarantee) period take longer time and higher cost for repair. Moreover, due to use of
local pump, local technicians and farmer can easily install and change the pumps
whenever necessary. Higher panel efficiency and higher operating voltage will improve
the performance of the pump. Carbon credit will be an added benefit [17].

uses solar energy to run the hybrid pesticide sprayer.
This model will perform spraying at the maximum rate in minimum time at low
running costs. Asian countries face profound sustainability challenges that will influence
their ability to achieve lasting environmental objectives. When pesticides used in greater
amounts than desired, it become contaminated to food and environment. As we know
60% of economy depends on agriculture. The prominent aim of the hybrid pesticide
sprayer is to make cheaper spraying by using solar energy. The fabricated hybrid sprayer
is most suitable for small and medium scale farmers and remote areas like island, forest
where fuel is not available easily. They can perform their work efficiently as well as save
fuel at large scale. At the same time, they reduce environmental pollution by fuel burning.
Public awareness can be increased by more appropriate farmer programs based on solar

Krishna Murthy B, Rajan Kanwar, Indrajeet Yadav, Vishnu Das they describe a
solar operated pesticide sprayer is a pump running on electricity generated by
 photovoltaic panels or the thermal energy available from collected sunlight as opposed to
grid electricity or diesel run water pumps. The operation of solar powered pumps is more
economical mainly due to the lower operation and maintenance costs and has less
environmental impact than pumps powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE). Solar
 pumps are useful where grid electricity is unavailable and alternative sources (in
 particular wind) do not provide sufficient energy. The solar panels make up most (up to
80%) of the systems cost. The size of the PV-system is directly dependent on the size of
the pump, the amount of water that is required (m³/d) and the solar irradiance available. S

 prices have generally been prevented from rising in line with energy costs. Despite
 present short-term fluctuations in oil prices, conventional oil-based engine-driven power
sources and mains electricity are expected to continue to increase in the longer term. If we
are to decrease our dependence on imported oil, we have to find methods for energizing
irrigation pumps that are independent of imported oil or centralized elect ricity.
Solar radiation as a source of energy is of course, the epitome of the clean.
Sustainable energy technology except for residues possibly arising out of the manufacture
of solar component (e.g. semiconductors), solar technology has very low environmental
impacts. The environmental impacts of solar system in operation are very low and the
source is, for us inexhaustible. The method used here to build solar powered pesticide
 pumping system is cost effective comparatively to an electrically operated hydraulic
 pump. Since here non-conventional energy is used to achieve the required head.
Discharge obtained from the observations is 5 litres per minute. The reciprocating pump

The motor is controlled by a simple manipulation in the internal structure of the

agriculture. As the generation evolved, man developed many methods of irrigation to
supply water to the land. Motor with deep well pump has been utilized for water storage
from Dam Lake to pool and motor with centrifugal pump is utilized for the purpose of
transferring of water kept in pool to drip irrigation system. Since the increase in price per
increase in unit power output of a photovoltaic system is greater than that for a diesel,
gasoline, or electric system, photovoltaic power is more cost competitive when the
irrigation system with which it operates has a low total dynamic head. For this reason,
 photovoltaic power is more cost-competitive when used to power a micro irrigation
system as compared to an overhead sprinkler system. Photovoltaic power for irrigation is
cost-competitive with traditional energy sources for small, remote applications, if the total
system design and utilisation timing is carefully considered and organised to use the solar
energy as efficiently as possible [20].

The proposed solar water pumping system has long lifetime and it is maintenance

more pervasive than ever. Issues like energy and global warming are some of the biggest
challenges for humanity in the 21st century. Therefore, ensuring energy resources and
minimize the global warming, the utilization of renewable energy becomes a crying need
for today. Among different types of renewable resources, solar energy has great prospect
for utilization in electricity generation. Sultanate of Oman is blessed with sun light

solar PV is picking up in India in a big way in recent years. It needs a clear direction such
that it can optimally be utilized and the benefits, without being concentrated in a few
locations, can reach the majority of poor population as well. Indian farmers, for the last
few decades are affected in terms of availability of electrical power. The present study
suggests the use of fertile and cultivated land with about 5 m elevated structure with solar
 panels. It creates shade on the crops.
In the present study, the shade effect on the crops below the structure has been
examined systematically through modelling studies. Different solar panel design
configurations are suggested such that the crops or plants below, on the ground surface,
can also be grown without any reduction in their yield. The effect of the elevated structure
on the neighbouring lands is also examined. It is shown that the present concept can
easily be implemented in India, perhaps in the world, at all the locations such that power
can be generated using farmer’s own land for his own benefit, perhaps with some profit to
him. The present concept, if implemented, also reduces the huge cost involved in
establishing the network of transmission and distribution lines [22].

Since ancient times, solar energy has been harnessed for human use through a range of
technologies. Solar radiation along with secondary solar resources such as wind and wave
 power, hydroelectricity and biomass account for most of the available flow of renewable
energy on Earth.
Solar energy technologies can provide electrical generation by heat engine or
 photovoltaic means, space heating and cooling in active and passive solar buildings;
 potable water via distillation and disinfection, day lighting, hot water, thermal energy for
cooking, and high temperature process heat for industrial purposes. Sunlight can be
converted into electricity using Photo-Voltaic (PV), Concentrating Solar Power (CSP),
and various experimental technologies. PV has mainly been used to power small and
medium-sized applications, from the calculator powered by a single solar cell to off-grid
homes powered by a photovoltaic array. The term "photovoltaic" comes from the Greek
(phos) meaning "light", and "voltaic", meaning electrical, from the name of the Italian
 physicist Volta, after whom a unit of electrical potential, the volt, is named. A solar cell,
or Photo-Voltaic cell (PV), is a device that converts light into direct current using the
 photoelectric effect. The first solar cell was constructed by Charles Fritts in the 1880s.
Although the prototype selenium cells converted less than 1% of incident light into
electricity, both Ernst Werner von Siemens and James Clerk Maxwell recognized the
importance of this discovery. As we know 70% of population of our country lives in
village & their main occupation is agriculture. The prominent aim of this project is to
