Our Innovation
Problem Statement:
The Nigerian agricultural sector struggles with the manual spraying of pesticides and herbicides, impacting over 34 million farmers. Many experience discomfort due to the physical strain of traditional sprayers, which require jerking a lever to build pump pressure. Issues such as chemical spillage during mixing and the heavy weight of conventional sprayers further complicate the process, making it labor-intensive and time-consuming. Farmers typically need around 10 tank loads to cover just one hectare of land, underscoring the urgent need for a more efficient and ergonomic spraying solution.
Solution Overview
Softspray offers a stress-free spraying experience by introducing:
- Motorized Stirrer: This feature minimizes the effort required for mixing, ensuring that chemicals are blended efficiently without the risk of spillage.
- Automated Pump System: Our pump generates the necessary pressure automatically, eliminating the physical strain and discomfort associated with manually jerking a lever.
- Easily Removable/Replaceable Battery: This design allows for extended usage time, ensuring that farmers can work longer without interruptions.
Benefits and Impact
- Longer spraying activity time without pain for the farmers which leads to higher efficiency in farm work. This finally leads to higher productivity.
