Problem Addressed 

Small farmers face significant challenges in accessing affordable, high-clearance machinery capable of performing multiple tasks like spraying and weeding. Existing solutions are often unavailable when required and pose health risks due to close operator contact. There is a critical need for an affordable, single-person-operated machine that integrates spraying, weeding, and safety features to address these issues effectively.

Technology

The 3-wheeler sprayer and weeder is designed for efficiency and safety, featuring a 200-liter tank and an HTP pump for quick refills. It sprays pesticides or fertilisers from a safe 6-foot distance, covering 1 acre in just 12-15 minutes, while also performing weeding tasks. With high ground clearance and multi-functionality, it combines spraying and weeding in one machine. The design reduces health risks, is fuel-efficient, and includes an automatic fuel refill system, making it easy to operate by a single person.

Societal Impact

This innovation improves productivity, lowers costs, and enhances farmer safety, ultimately boosting livelihoods and promoting sustainable farming.
