Sprinkler Irrigation System: Advanced Micro Sprinklers & Mini Sprinklers System in India

From irrigation and plant propagation to cooling and frost mitigation, you might be surprised to learn how sprinkler irrigation systems can be the precise solution for your farm crop yields and conserve resources with top sprinkler irrigation technology, tailored to meet irrigation needs.

Sprinkler Irrigation System

Sprinkler Irrigation Systems distribute water across fields or gardens by spraying it through Sprinkler Heads. These Sprinkler Irrigation Systems are efficient and versatile, suitable for various crops and landscapes. They provide uniform coverage, ensuring all plants receive the uniform amount of water for optimal growth. Sprinkler Irrigation Systems can be customised with different sprinkler head types and configurations to match specific watering needs. Overall, Sprinkler Irrigation Systems play a crucial role in agricultural production and landscaping, contributing to sustainable water management practices.

Sprinkler irrigation works like a shower for plants. Pipes with Sprinkler irrigation heads spray water over fields or gardens, Mimicking rain. It's efficient and can be automated for easy watering.  A sprinkler irrigation system consists of pipes along a ceiling that contains water under pressure, with an additional source of water for a constant flow. Attached to the pipes, automatic sprinklers are placed at select locations.

Sprinklers: the precise solution for your precise needs

Sprinklers are often perceived as a wasteful or non-precise irrigation method. Nothing can be far from the truth in the case of Netafim's mini and micro sprinklers. Especially when the system is designed in a smart and efficient way with relatively low precipitation rates and perfect water distribution that simulates rain. Today's technology has brought exciting new tools for farmers that want to get perfect water and nutrient distribution or use sprinklers for climate control, frost mitigation and plant propagation. Explore this exciting world of opportunities.

What To Consider When Choosing Your Field Crops Sprinkler Irrigation System

  • Sprinkler Spacing

In the Sprinkler Irrigation System, the distance between your sprinklers is primarily determined based on the planting pattern of your field crops and the agro-mechanical vehicles and tools used. Nevertheless, there are other factors to consider. The closer the sprinklers are spaced, the more units and pipes you will require, and the higher your system cost will be. On the other hand, wider spacing makes it harder to obtain uniform water distribution. Especially in windy areas.  

  • Sprinkler Irrigation Pipe Flow Rate And Overall System Precipitation Rate

It is important to choose a solution that can provide the daily crop needs and still avoid run-off that creates uneven water distribution and soil erosion. You should look for a precision irrigation system whose precipitation rate correlates to the soil’s infiltration capacity. Unlike center-pivots or rain guns that have high hourly flow, precision sprinkler irrigation systems have low to medium precipitation rates, so they don’t generate run-off.  

  • Sprinklers Droplet Size And Jet Impact

Aggressive jets can injure young crops, expose seeds and create soil erosion or provoke soil crusting. on the other hand, very fine jets can produce small droplets of water which may shift with the wind or evaporate affecting uniform distribution of the water. Look for a sprinkler which can reach the required distance and maintain even distribution patterns, but will not damage your crops.

Orchard sprinkler irrigation systems and frost protection solutions

Full Coverage Orchard Irrigation

In many plantations, it is needed to irrigate the entire orchard surface. The sprinklers irrigation system used in that case has a low trajectory angle and strong jets, which are designed to hit the trunk, Just below the foliage. These sprinkler irrigation systems are robust, easy to maintain, and resistant to harsh water conditions.

Localized Orchard Irrigation

These solutions, based on Micro Sprinklers Irrigation, are designed to irrigate the root zone of the trees. This type of Sprinkler Irrigation leaves the space between crop rows dry and is known to utilise the water and nutrients most efficiently. It is especially recommended for tree crops with broad and shallow root systems and for areas with sandy soils or high stone content.

Frost Protection

Frost damage to your orchards can result in yield loss or even death of trees, so specifying the right sprinkler irrigation and spacing for crops is critical. Netafim offers a frost mitigation solution for orchards based on creating a water coating layer that insulates fruit tree crops with a protective coating of water providing frost mitigation with optimal efficiency. How to achieve this protection when activating huge areas simultaneously while maintaining low investment costs and complying with water availability constraints? This is where smart emitters and efficient design come into place.
