Abstract: Agriculture has been the backbone of Indian economy. It has to support 17 percent of world population with only 2.3 percent of world’s geographical area, 4.2 percent of world’s water resource, with 2 percent total consumption of world’s total pesticide. To fulfill the need of food modernization of agricultural sector is important. There are many areas in agricultural sector where speed of modernization is quiet slow. One of the main sectors is pesticide spraying machine. By modernization in this sector pesticides can be evenly distributed on farms which will reduce wastage of pesticide and hence prevents wastage of inputs applied on farms which reduces cost of production. Mechanization in pesticide spraying technology will lead to higher productivity with minimum input. Indian farmers are using some traditional spraying mechanisms which lead to wastage of pesticides with some hazardous ill effects on their health. Now day’s some technologies are developed and some inventions are there in this field but they are not much suitable for Indian farming conditions.

Keywords: Agricultural Sector, Indian Farming, Pesticide Spraying Machine, Mechanization, Modernization, Inventions.
