Despite the focus on industrialization, agriculture remains a dominant sector of the Indian economy both in terms of contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) as well as a source of employment to millions across the country. Agriculture plays a vital role in the Indian economy. Over 70 per cent of the rural households depend on agriculture as their principal means of livelihood. But an attack of pest in crops is one of the major problems to reduce the production growth in agriculture field. This paper presents an engineering solution to tackle this kind of problem in which a remote operated portable robotic spraying device is used. Chemical application of nutrients and pesticides is one of the most important processes in agricultural production, but also one of the most dangerous agricultural operations. To improve the chemical efficacy, reduce chemical and labour cost, minimize labour hazards and reduce the harmful environmental damage provided the motivation behind the development of a remote operated portable robotic spraying device. A four wheel remote operated vehicle was designed and built to act as a sprayer. Power is transmitted from the DC motors to all the wheels through a reduction Gear mechanism. It is expected to have a successful pesticide management system in the fertigation based farm by using the remote operated portable robotic spraying device.
