Cycle Operated Spraying Unit
Description of Technology
Recognition
Rawale brothers have taken lead for the design and development of
bicycle operated spraying unit without harming the utility of the cycle.
They fabricated this sprayer by attaching big size and 48 toothed wheel
to the backside of the cycle. Due to this design, uniform spraying is
possible with the help of 4 nozzles at minimum pressure. Owing to this
spraying unit, 3 labourers can spray 20 to 25 acres of land per day.
Approximately 60% human drudgery and 50 to 60 % of spraying cost
has been reduced. They have also developed other implements and
tools such as:
Soil coverage equipment
Fast speed spanner designed for tightening and loosening of
nuts and bolts
Soil tiller equipment
Bed maker which can raise soil and make raised beds for any crop
Toeing arrangement of bullock cart with tractor
Night vigilence head torch and caterpillar made of mild steel
Well known farmers and winner of Rural Innovation Award.
