India is an agriculture based country. Agriculture has a significant role in the socio-economic fabric of India. An Engineer is always focus on development and reduction in human efforts. So many inventions and development have been done in different fields including machinery, constructions, nanotechnology etc. It is now important to focus on agriculture field. Machine becomes an integral part of human being. Automation helps to give high production rate than manual production rate in the competition market. Engineer accepts the challenges and make the design into reality. “Solar operated pesticide sprayer is one of the best innovative product that reduces human efforts. It is actually physical design that show how sprayer uses solar energy instead of conventional energy to spray pesticide on crops. The experimental result shows that the theoretical analysis is approximately same and valid for the prototype as per given specifications. It reduces up to 30-40% of total cost.
