garden sprayer

Hose-end atomizer

A garden sprayer is a handheld or backpack device for applying water, fertilizers, or pesticides to plants.

Most use a pump mechanism to pressurize liquid, which is then released through a nozzle in a fine mist or stream: I filled the garden sprayer with insecticidal soap.

Larger versions mount on wheels or attach to hoses.
