Microsprinklers: A reliable, easy to apply method

 

Microsprinklers are low capacity water emitters of the sprinkler type, but smaller in size than the conventional sprinklers, with flow rates of around 250 litres/h. They are placed on a relatively close rectangular or triangular spacing for the maximum overlap to irrigate potatoes, carrots, leafy vegeta­bles, groundnuts and other densely planted field crops. This method is reliable, highly efficient and easy to apply, operate and handle.

The system is a seasonal, low pressure, micro-irrigation solid-set installation which can be easily placed in the field and quickly removed (collected) at the end of the season.
