What is the purpose of the agitator in a sprayer?

The purpose of the agitator in a sprayer is to mix the pesticide solution. This is crucial because ensuring a uniform mixture helps achieve consistent application and effectiveness of the pesticide. An agitator keeps the solution well-mixed, preventing sedimentation or separation of the active ingredients, which can lead to uneven distribution when applied to crops. By maintaining an even suspension of the chemicals, the agitator contributes significantly to the efficacy of the application process and helps in achieving better control over the pesticide application rates.

Other roles, such as measuring the spray output, transporting the solution, or applying it to crops, are performed by different components of the sprayer system. These functions support the overall process but do not directly relate to the mixing of chemicals, which is the specific role of the agitator.
