Sprayer Capacity Guide for Indian Farmers
Choosing the right tank capacity for your sprayer is critical — too small means constant refilling, too large means back strain and wasted time. This guide helps you match sprayer capacity to your farm size and crop type.
Understanding Sprayer Capacity
Tank capacity is the volume of pesticide/fertilizer solution the sprayer holds in one fill. Standard sizes in India: 1–2L (mini), 5–8L (small), 15–20L (medium, most popular), 25L+ (large).
Capacity by Farm Area
| Farm Area | Recommended Capacity | Fills per Acre |
|---|---|---|
| Under 10 cents | 2–5L | 3–5 fills |
| 10–25 cents | 8–12L | 3–5 fills |
| 25–50 cents | 16–20L | 3–5 fills |
| 0.5–1 acre | 20L | 4–6 fills |
| 1–2 acres | 20–25L + power sprayer | 6–8 fills |
| 2+ acres | Power sprayer (60L+) | Fewer large fills |
Note: Application volume varies by crop, spray type (pesticide vs fertilizer), and nozzle type. These are approximate values for standard field spraying.
Capacity by Crop
- Paddy/Rice: 20L per fill, 200–300L/acre for standard application
- Wheat: 20L per fill, 200L/acre
- Vegetables: 15–20L per fill, 300–400L/acre (more thorough coverage)
- Orchards: 20–25L per fill, 600–800L/acre (for tall trees)
- Sugarcane: 20L per fill, 400–500L/acre
