How do sprinkler irrigation machines achieve water savings and increased yields?
The sprinkler irrigation machine is one of the ideal water-saving irrigation tools suited to China's national conditions. There are many types, but in order to achieve water savings and increased yields, sprinkler irrigation equipment must ensure relatively high irrigation quality when carrying out sprinkler irrigation. So how does the sprinkler irrigation machine play a role in water savings and increased yields?
The indicators generally used to measure irrigation quality are sprinkler irrigation intensity, sprinkler irrigation uniformity and the degree of water droplet atomization, etc. These are also the three important elements of sprinkler irrigation technology. Therefore, when actually using sprinkler irrigation equipment for sprinkler irrigation operations, the sprinkler irrigation intensity should be moderate, the spraying uniformity should be high, and the water droplet atomization effect should be good.
Because the water emitters that make up micro-irrigation systems differ, their system classifications also differ. They are usually divided into irrigation systems, micro-sprinkler irrigation systems, small tube outflow systems and subsurface irrigation systems, etc.
The practicality of sprinkler irrigation equipment:
Sprinkler irrigation is the process of sending pressurized water, formed by a water pump pressurizing it or by a drop in elevation, through pressure pipelines to the field, where sprinkler heads spray it into the air to form fine water droplets that fall evenly onto the field, thereby achieving the purpose of irrigation. It can improve the comprehensive utilization of water and the uniformity of irrigation, and realize automated management of sprinkler irrigation equipment.
Sprinkler irrigation technology is also called artificial rainfall. Using this technology can achieve obvious results such as water savings, increased yields and labor savings. At the same time, it can also improve the field microclimate, such as humidifying and cooling, so its practicality is relatively superior.
Types of sprinkler irrigation machines
Commonly used sprinkler irrigation machines include small sprinkler irrigation machines, large sprinkler irrigation machines, lateral-move sprinkler irrigation machines, mobile sprinkler irrigation machines, reel-type sprinkler irrigation machines, pointer-type sprinkler irrigation machines, center-pivot sprinkler irrigation machines, circular sprinkler irrigation machines, twin-boom sprinkler irrigation machines and many other types.
Uses of sprinkler irrigation machines
Sprinkler irrigation has many uses, mainly for crops, forestry nurseries, pastoral grasslands, vegetables and fruit trees, cash crops, garden turf and flowers, etc. In addition, it is also used for environmental control (such as dust prevention, wind prevention, dry hot wind prevention, frost prevention and cooling, etc.), sewage treatment, fish pond aeration, and comprehensive spraying of liquid fertilizer, herbicides, chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, etc. Sprinkler irrigation has strong adaptability and is applicable to almost any crop, soil type, terrain, region and climatic condition.
Sprinkler irrigation technology has the characteristics of saving water, saving labor time, improving land utilization, favoring increased crop yields and strong adaptability.
