Abstract
This research has designed and constructed a multi-purpose radio-controlled sprayer. The research aims to optimize sprayer performance, reduce work time and save the farmers from chemicals usage. The sprayer speed is 4.3 km / h. It can spray 4.25 meters with 2.123 meters turning radius. The control range is 100 meters by using the 2.4 GHz frequency. There are three routes of the performance test. There are the longitudinal zig-zag, the wide l zig-zag, and the spiral test. The most optimize sprayer performance is a longitudinal zig-zag test. The maximum spraying efficiency is 95.18%. The shortest average is 1,110.00 meters/cycle. The lowest time per cycle is 27.437 minutes/cycle. The minimum consumption is 0.418 liters/cycle. 14.558 megawatts. The power is 0.531 megawatts. In conclusion, the longitudinal zig-zag route is most suitable for the sprayer by the distance, time per cycle and the highest energy efficiency
