Development of a Mobile Multi-nozzle Compression Pump Sprayer (Mmcp) Adedipe J O

This study developed a mobile multi-nozzle compression sprayer and compared its performance to a typical knapsack sprayer. It comprises of the tank, hoses, nozzles, frame, wheels and the elevation rod. The mobile multi-nozzle compression pump sprayer was fabricated, tested and evaluated. Test results were compared to those of a knapsack sprayer; the following parameters were used for evaluation; working speed, flow rate and the rate of application. Conclusively, the developed sprayer performs five (5) times better than the latter.
