Battery Sprayer Buying Guide for Indian Farmers
Choosing the right battery sprayer saves money, reduces crop damage, and makes farm spraying more efficient. This guide covers every decision point so you buy the right sprayer the first time.
Step 1: Choose Tank Capacity
- 2–8L: Home garden, spot spray, small vegetable plot (under 10 cents)
- 12–16L: Small farm (10–25 cents per fill)
- 18–20L: Medium farm (25–50 cents per fill) — most popular for Indian farms
- 25L+: Large farm, commercial use
Rule of thumb: 20L tank covers approximately 0.25–0.5 acre per fill depending on crop and spray rate.
