Power Sprayer Buying Guide for Indian Farmers
This guide helps you choose the right petrol power sprayer — knapsack, portable, or HTP — based on your farm, crop, and budget.
Step 1: Identify Your Need
- Row crops (paddy, wheat): Knapsack 25L power sprayer
- Orchards and tall crops: HTP sprayer (30–50 feet reach)
- Large fields: Portable 50L trolley sprayer
- Commercial pest control: HTP with 6.5HP engine
Step 2: Engine Type
- 4-Stroke (recommended): No fuel mixing, quieter, efficient. Balwaan BKS-35, Neptune NF-767.
- 2-Stroke: More power per CC. Neptune NF-608, NF-708. Requires petrol+oil mix.
Step 3: Pump Type
- Brass pump: Best durability, handles chemical salts well. Worth the premium for daily use.
- Aluminium pump: Lighter, lower cost. Good for occasional use.
- Triple piston HTP pump: Maximum pressure for orchards. Balwaan BH/BHE series.
