Download Solution PDFSprinkler Irrigation:
- Sprinkler irrigation is a method of applying irrigation water that is similar to natural rainfall.
- Water is distributed through a system of pipes usually by pumping.
- It is then sprayed into the air through sprinklers so that it breaks up into small water drops which fall to the ground.
- Sprinklers are best suited to sandy soils with high infiltration rates (Light soil) although they are adaptable to most soils.
- The average application rate from the sprinklers is always chosen to be less than the basic infiltration rate of the soil so that surface ponding and runoff can be avoided.
- It is the best method of irrigation for standing crops in undulating sandy soil in fields.
- The sprinkler irrigation system has also been shown to increase crop yields and is suited for most row, field, and tree crops that are grown closely together, such as cereals, pulses, wheat, sugarcane, groundnut, cotton, vegetables, fruits, flowers, and spices.
- The sprinkler system irrigates the field, and it is widely used in sandy areas as it checks the wastage of water through seepage.
