    Farming has undergone a great evolution in last 50 years. Out of the various reasons involved for this evolution is control of various diseases on crops. During initial days there was only hand spraying people use to do. Then slowly there has been development of various methods to spray out chemicals and dusts. Though these devices were highly efficient, there is a need to have certain changes. Chemicals are widely used for controlling disease, insects and weeds in the crops. They are able to save a crop from pest attack only when applied in time. They need to be applied on plants and soil in the form of spray, dust or mist. The chemicals are costly; therefore, equipment for uniform and effective application is essential. Dusters and sprayers are generally used for applying chemical. The application of pesticide is one of the most frequently used methods to protect crops and trees against diseases and insects in agriculture. In the modern agriculture, the usage of pesticides is still increasing, moreover the 90% of these pesticides are being applied in the form of liquid spray and mostly by using the pressure gained from direct energy sources like electrical energy and chemical energy. Increasing public concern about the potential damage of chemical and electrical inputs in agricultural spraying systems has challenged industry to develop new and effective methods of spraying which will maintain environment friendly approach
