Low volume spraying.
-The low volume spraying methods essentially reduce quantity of spray solution.
-Spraying as against 300 to 500 L/ha in H.V.spraying technique is reduced to 50 to 150 L/ha in L.V. spraying technique.
-Motorised knapsack sprayer, also called Mist blower is a L.V. sprayer in which gaseous energy nozzle is used for fine breakup of spray liquid into fine spray droplets.
-The size of spray droplets depends upon:
1. Air velocity and volume.
2. Liquid flow rate.
3. Properties of spray liquid.

High volume spraying.
-The spray solution is prepared by mixing water with pesticide formulation in appropriate quantities.
-This diluted mixture is sprayed through hydraulic nozzles.
-Almost all types of high volume sprayers have some kind of pump to supply pressurized spray liquid to the hydraulic nozzle which breaks the liquid into spray droplets .
-The high volume sprayers are operated manually or powered. E,g slide pump or hand sprayers, stirrup pump sprayer, compression sprayer, compression sprayer, lever operated knapsack sprayer etc.
