Sprinkler Irrigation Systems for Open Fields & Orchards
In today’s farming landscape, the need for efficient water management is more important than ever. Whether you're cultivating cereals in open fields or nurturing fruit orchards, sprinkler irrigation offers a smart and cost-effective solution. It mimics natural rainfall and distributes water uniformly across the field—saving time, water, and effort.
At Netafim India, we provide a range of high-performance sprinkler systems tailored to the needs of Indian farmers. Our sprinklers are designed to work efficiently across flat, sloped, or undulating land and are ideal for a variety of crops, including vegetables, pulses, cereals, and fruits.
Why Choose Sprinkler Irrigation?
Sprinkler irrigation is ideal for areas where drip irrigation isn’t suitable or where wide-area coverage is needed. It offers several advantages:
✅ Even Water Distribution across the entire field
✅ Ideal for Large Open Fields or Orchards
✅ Reduces Manual Labor and saves time
✅ Saves 30–40% more water than flood irrigation
✅ Works well on all soil types, especially sandy soils
By delivering water through high-pressure nozzles in the form of droplets, this system allows crops to absorb moisture effectively—resulting in better growth and yield.
