Sprayers range in size from man-portable units (typically backpacks with ) to trailed sprayers that are connected to a tractor, to self-propelled units similar to with boom mounts of up to in length depending on engineering design for tractor and land size.

The sprayer pump can be just as important as the sprayer type itself as there are many sprayer pump design types with various construction materials, inlet/outlet sizes, and performance specifications. Common sprayer pump types include diaphragm, centrifugal, and roller pumps.
There are a number of agriculture sprayers designed for spraying applications and designed to be versatile and suitable for various uses from spot applications, gardens, crops, row crops, crop trees, fruit, groves, vineyards, perimeter maintenance, livestock needs, weed control, pastures and rangeland.
