Solar-Powered Pesticide Sprayer Based on IOT

Abstract

In rural and underdeveloped regions, most farmers 
are confronted with the daunting challenge of 
spraying pesticides manually on their crops. Not 
only is this physically draining, but it also exposes 
their health to serious risks through repeated 
exposure to toxic chemicals. In the long run, this 
can result in a variety of health issues, ranging 
from respiratory complications, skin ailments, to 
even long-term chronic diseases. As an unfor- 
tunate consequence, the available solutions like 
drones and big machinery to spray are mostly too 
costly for small farmers. In response to this 
problem, our project seeks to offer an affordable 
solution: a solar sprayer for pesticide made to be 
easier, safer, and less costly for farmers in rural 
villages. The sprayer is a small, mobile unit that 
includes a pesticide tank, spray nozzles, and a 
solar-powered battery system, making it highly 
efficient and cost-effective. One of the key features 
is that it can be controlled remotely, so farmers 
can operate it from a safe distance, reducing both 
physical strain and the risk of exposure to 
dangerous chemicals. What sets our sprayer apart 
is its use of IoT technology. This implies that 
farmers are able to observe and manage the system 
in real time, so that pesticide application is both 
accurate and effective. They are able to monitor the 
status of the tank, monitor usage, and even change 
settings remotely, all through a simple app or 
interface. This is particularly useful for farmers 
who are not physically capable of looking after the 
sprayer themselves at all times or who lack the 
technical competence for more involved systems. 
Since it operates solely on solar power, this 
sprayer is ideal for farmland areas that are isolated 
and where electricity supply may not be readily 
available. The solar panel guarantees the system 
is continuously charged and at the ready wherever 
the farm happens to be situated. Solar energy also 
makes it an eco-friendly option since it minimizes 
carbon emissions over conventionally fueled 
machinery. 
Ultimately, 
our 
solar-powered 
pesticide sprayer seeks to em- power farmers by 
giving them a healthier, more efficient means of 
taking care of their crops. It’s inexpensive, simple to use, and contributes to overall farming 
productivity while protecting farmers’ health. By 
combining advanced technology with renew- able energy, this sprayer is a step in the direction of 
making farming smarter and safer, particularly for 
those in the most remote communities.
