In today’s farming, every drop matters. For grape and pomegranate growers, achieving better yield and healthier crops means using the right tools. One such powerful tool is the air assisted sprayer, a modern spraying machine that helps farmers spray pesticides, fungicides, and nutrients with great accuracy.

Mitra Sprayers one of India’s leading tractor operated sprayer manufacturers, offers a range of high-quality air assisted sprayers specially designed for orchard crops like grapes and pomegranates. Let’s understand how these sprayers help in improving yield and reducing crop loss.

What Is an Air Assisted Sprayer?

An air assisted sprayer uses a powerful fan to push air along with the spray liquid. This combination ensures the spray reaches deep into the leaves and fruits, giving full coverage. Unlike traditional sprayers, which rely only on pressure, air assisted sprayers improve the spray reach, reduce wastage, and save time

Why Are Grapes and Pomegranates Difficult to Spray?

Grapes and pomegranates are delicate crops. Their dense canopy, soft fruits, and risk of fungal diseases make spraying a critical part of crop care. Without proper spraying:

• Pests and diseases spread quickly.
• Fruits may not grow evenly.
• Farmers face heavy losses at harvest.

Traditional spraying methods often fail to reach the inner parts of the plant. Uneven spraying means some parts of the plant remain untreated, leading to poor protection. This is where Mitra’s air assisted sprayers make a big difference.

How Mitra’s Air Assisted Sprayers Help in Grapes

Grape vineyards need regular and accurate spraying. Mitra’s air assisted sprayers are specially designed to give:

1. Uniform Spray Coverage
   The double fan or axial fan in Mitra sprayers pushes the spray deep into the grape canopy. This ensures every leaf and bunch gets equal spray, improving disease control.
2. Reduced Drift, Better Targeting
   The air direction is controlled so the spray doesn’t drift away. This is important for grapes as off-target spray can damage nearby vines or miss the target area.
3. Saves Time and Labour
   With powerful fans and wide spray reach, farmers can cover more area in less time. This reduces labour costs and allows more timely spraying.
4. Better Disease Control = Higher Yield
   Timely and complete spraying helps prevent major issues like powdery mildew, downy mildew, and other fungal diseases that affect grape yield.

How Mitra’s Air Assisted Sprayers Help in Pomegranates

Pomegranates also need deep and even spraying due to their bushy structure and hard-to-reach fruits. Mitra sprayers are the perfect fit due to:

1. Adjustable Airflow
   Farmers can control the air speed with gearbox and direction with deflector depending on plant size and stage. This helps avoid fruit damage and ensures safe spraying.
2. Penetration in Dense Bushes
   Air assisted sprayers reach even the inner parts of the pomegranate tree, where pests like fruit borers hide. This means better protection and cleaner fruits.
3. Efficient Chemical Use
   Because of better coverage, less chemical is wasted. This saves money and avoids overuse of pesticides.
4. Healthier Fruits = Higher Market Value
   Well-sprayed pomegranates have fewer marks and better skin quality. This helps in getting better prices in the market.
