:The present study was undertaken to evaluate performance of bullock drawn traction sprayer in soybean crop. Malvi breed bullocks were selected for carting operation research work under front line demonstration (FLD) during 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14, at village Surkheda, Badwan and Mohammadpura of Mandsaur (M.P.) The bullock drawn traction sprayer is capable to cover 6 rows at a stretch with an average field capacity of 0.75 ha/h. The average quantity of chemical solution sprayed per hectare was found to be 394.42 l/ha. An operating pressure was 3.8 kg/cm 2 . The average travel speed of unit was 2.20 kmph. Field efficiency was found 74.2 per cent and labour requirement 2.66 man-hr/ha. There was a significant (P< 0.05) increase in all the three physiological parameters (respiration rate, pulse rate and body temperature) as compared to their pre-work values.
