A Prototype Design of Mechanical Pushcart Sprayer for Plotted Plants

This research study was designed to apply crop protection products and reduce the labor cost and equipment in agriculture. This was conducted in order to meet the desired needs of the consumer in terms of reliability, efficient and functionality operated. Specifically, the mechanical pushcart sprayer was manually operated and pushing the cart was the main concept. The force applied in pushcart tends the piston pump reciprocates to make it spray. In order to accomplish the study, there was a design procedures, the fabrication process, and the testing and gathering of data. The results from the test showed that the pushcart sprayer can hold more liters of chemicals than the other sprayers. Based on the findings, the volume flow out of sprayer was 1.74 liters per minute. The study conducted an evaluation to determine the reliability, effectiveness, appearance, and efficiency of the prototype. Through this assessment, the respondents were satisfied in functionality of the study. The pushcart sprayer can also be improved. The future researchers can implemented the design of the sprayer by adding additional features and components.
