Bicycle Sprayer

The unique device essentially uses the circular motions of the cycle sprocket to move the piston of the spray pump which generates pressure to spray the pesticides. The front and rear sprockets of a thrown away bicycle are interchanged and the small sprocket is connected to the piston pump, so as the circular motion is converted to reciprocating motion of the piston and thus the pressure is generated and thus the pesticides are sprayed on the field.

The innovator of the Bicycle Sprayer, Sh. Mansukhbhai Jagani, has undergone formal studies up to Class 5th. He worked for couple of years in a diamond processing unit before he set up a small workshop in his native village. His creative thought process led him to develop many innovative farm implements like motorcycle driven ploughing machine, a multipurpose tool bar for agriculture

• Instead of manual strokes in case of a Knapsack sprayers, one has to drag the bicycle to operate the pump
• Energy and ergonomically efficient, therefore increases labour productivity
• Easier to handle and has larger capacity as compared to a knapsack sprayer
• It has adjustable height and width of the spraying boom
• More versatile in terms of maneuverability as compared to power sprayers
• Can cover larger area with respect to the conventional sprayers
• The sprayer can be disengaged and the cycle can be used for regular transportation by interchanging the sprockets
