ADVANTAGES OF SPRINKLE SYSTEM
o System losses (runoff, seepage) substantially reduced
o System losses (runoff, seepage) substantially reduced
o Over irrigation is completely eliminated and uniformity of application is high.
o Irrigation water requirement reduced as compared to other methods.
o No land leveling required in the field and land use for productive purposes can be maximized.
o Fertilizer can be injected in the irrigation water to reach the root zone directly
o The system allows better weed control.
LIMITATIONS OF SPRINKLE SYSTEM
§ Poor uniformity and application efficiency in high wind regimes and / or dry and hot conditions.
§ Poor uniformity and application efficiency in high wind regimes and / or dry and hot conditions.
§ Capital cost is high with greater operational costs due to higher energy requirements.
§ Not suitable for paddy crops
§ Crops prone to diseases due to moist environment.
§ Water with impurities and sediments may damage the system.
why are there more disadvantages of the sprinkler system than the advantages???
