| Summary: | This study introduced the application of sprinkler in irrigation for farm mechanization practical.
Sprinkler Irrigation is a method of applying irrigation water which is similar to rainfall. Water is
distributed through a system of pipes usually by pumping. It is then sprayed into the air and
irrigated entire soil surface through spray heads so that it breaks up into small water drops which
fall to the ground. It provide efficient coverage for small to large areas and are suitable for use
on all types of properties and also adaptable to nearly all irrigable soils since sprinklers are
available in a wide range of discharge capacity. With careful calculation and selection showed in
this paper through nozzle sizes, operating pressure and sprinkler spacing the amount of irrigation
water required to refill the crop root zone can be applied nearly uniform at the rate to suit the
infiltration rate of soil. |
