Abstract : A sprayer is a gadget used to spray a fluid. For pesticide control agriculturists need to splash bug sprays on their yields. For this reason, diverse kinds of sprayers are utilized. Little-scale ranchers are by and large inspired by the physical lever worked Knapsack sprayer for its ease.

The novelty of this device is that it can keep up high pressure with low work which makes it simple to shower to a higher elevation. The proposed foot operated sprayer has been designed and constructed accordingly. The performance tests have been done to measure significant aspects of the sprayer like the highest elevation of water it can spray, which was found to be 5.48 meters. All the results found were satisfactory compared to the existing sprayers in the market. Keywords - Foot Pump, Sprayer, Performance Analysis, Knapsack Sprayer, Nozzle, Paddle
