🌿 Benefits of Using Power Sprayer in Agriculture
Using a Power Sprayer provides multiple advantages compared to traditional hand sprayers. Let’s look at the key benefits:
🔹 1. Saves Time and Labor
A power sprayer can cover a larger area in a much shorter time using fewer laborers. This makes it ideal for farmers with large landholdings.
🔹 2. Uniform High-Pressure Spraying
Since the sprayer operates using petrol or diesel fuel, it maintains high pressure, ensuring the pesticide reaches every part of the plant — from the top leaves to the underside and stem — providing effective pest control.
🔹 3. Efficient Use of Chemicals
Farmers can spray a large area with a smaller amount of chemicals, which reduces wastage and cuts down costs.
🔹 4. Increased Crop Yield
Proper and timely spraying helps control pest attacks effectively, resulting in healthy crops and better yield.
🔹 5. Economic Benefits
Less time, fewer laborers, and reduced pesticide usage directly translate into lower production costs and higher profits for the farmer.
📢 Important Instructions
- Always choose department-approved models of Power Sprayers for subsidy eligibility.
- The Agriculture Department will verify all documents and eligibility before sanctioning the subsidy.
