Application / Use : To spray the agrochemicals
Brief description and salient features of technology
Sprayers play a vital role in agricultural operations. Today, most of the sprayers that are available in the market are of 16 liter capacity, usually having metal body and priced at more than Rs.1, 000/- per unit. These are not suited for farmers with small land holdings, as the sprayer capacity is not fully utilized. The large sprayers spray large droplets, which may harm the young plant due to pressure exerted on them. Secondly, the spray also leads to large-scale wastage, as big drops are not absorbed by foliage.
Khimji Bhai Kanadia, a teacher by training and an innovator by habit, was keenly observing these needs. He started working on a small sprayer that would provide a mist spray that may reduce the wastage of the pesticide. The spray would be very gentle and hence would not affect the plant. He also thought of designing a side mounting to reduce the accessories.

Status of technology (Not Commercialized / commercialized / in production :
The technology has already been commercialized by the innovator in Gujarat. The Innovator himself at Himmatnagar of Sabarkantha district of Gujarat is carrying out the production.
Minimum economic unit and total investment
Minimum Economic Unit: 400 Units per month
Total Investment: Rs. 3,50,000/-
(Rupees Three Lacs Fifty Thousand only)
The total investment does not include technology cost. Technology cost will be linked with the geographical area in which the entrepreneur is interested for commercialization of the technology.
However, cost of the technology for the state of Andhra Pradesh has been calculated, which comes to Rs. 3,00,000 only (Rs. Three Lacs only). Please see attached sheet for detailed calculations.
Technology Transfer methodology
We offer the technology by two ways i.e. Exclusive and Non-exclusive rights of manufacturing and marketing against the monetary gain in form of one time down payment basis. The amount is depending upon the geographical boundaries like district or state level basis. The offer would be given to the interested entrepreneurs after personal interview and consultation with him. GIAN would act as a nodal agency for technology transfer right from negotiation to the final agreement and its follow up.
Calculations in the attached sheet represent cost of the technology only for the state of Andhra Pradesh. Different alternatives of payment mechanism can be explored through negotiations with mutual understanding. Technology cost can be paid through down payment only or it can be a combination of down payment and royalty.
Technology demonstration cum training facility
Demonstration of the technology can be organized at innovator's place with prior appointment. After entering into the agreement for technology transfer, training facility for the manufacturing the product can be organized by GIAN either at the innovators or entrepreneur location as per the mutual understanding.
Product acceptability
The product is very well accepted in of Gujarat state and its neighboring state.
