The Philippines is an agricultural country with a land area of 30 million hectares, 47 percent of which is agricultural land. Agriculture plays a crucial role in the economy of developing countries and provides the main source of food, income, and employment to their rural populations. Involving about 40 percent of Filipino workers, it contributes an average of 20 percent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This output comes mainly from agribusiness, which in turn accounts for about 70 percent of the total agricultural output. This study aimed to design, construct and evaluate the Automatic Sprayer in terms of its level of technical soundness, level of technical performance, and level of acceptability. The study made used of the project-development and descriptive-evaluative research design. The study found out that the Automatic Sprayer was easy to use and the essential parts of the Automatic Sprayer are durable and can withstand a longer operation. The machine was very good in terms of its level of technical soundness, very good in its level of performance, and highly acceptable in its level of acceptability. An operations manual for the Automatic Sprayer was made and it is ready for use.
