Application, advantages and disadvantages of sprinkler irrigation technology

Sprinkler irrigation is suitable for almost all field crops except rice, as well as vegetables and fruit trees. Strong adaptability to terrain and soil conditions. However, in the case of wind, there will be problems of uneven spraying and increased evaporation loss. Compared with surface irrigation, field crop sprinkler irrigation can generally save water by 30% ~ 50% and increase production by 10%-30%. The biggest advantage is that farmland irrigation has changed from traditional manual operation to semi-mechanized, mechanized and even automated operation, which has accelerated the process of agricultural modernization. However, in windy and strong evaporation areas, it is easy to be affected by climatic conditions, and sometimes it is difficult to give full play to its advantages. The adaptability of sprinkler irrigation in these areas needs further analysis.
