What advantages do self-propelled sprinkler irrigation machines have over traditional sprinkler irrigation machines?

A self-propelled sprinkler irrigation machine is a type of sprinkler irrigation, built on the basis of a sprinkler irrigation machine with a gear motor drive and a traveling mechanism; it is a multifunctional self-propelled sprinkler irrigation machine, so what advantages does a self-propelled sprinkler irrigation machine have compared with a traditional sprinkler irrigation machine?

The self-propelled sprinkler irrigation machine is suspended on a running track supported by T-shaped brackets and moves back and forth to carry out irrigation operations, and it is provided with a hose and a power supply cable that are suspended on the running track by follower pulleys, unfolding or gathering as the main unit of the sprinkler irrigation machine moves forward and backward, supplying water and power to the sprinkler irrigation machine; a fertilizing device is connected in parallel on the water supply hose, used to add soluble fertilizer or chemicals to the irrigation water, so as to use the sprinkler irrigation machine for fertilizing or spraying chemicals. This sprinkler irrigation machine sprays evenly and works stably; it can irrigate water sources and also spray chemicals and apply fertilizer, improve land utilization, and facilitate field operations, and it is relatively suitable for use in greenhouses or shade canopies.

1. Save expenses

With the method of drip irrigation under film, a 40-hectare field needs only 1 person to be responsible for drip irrigation and drip fertilization. But for conventional film-cotton fields, the cost of opening a small canal for 667 sq m is about 2 yuan, and the cost of one watering is 3 yuan. The cost of mechanical intertillage twice is 8 yuan, and the cost of ditching and fertilizing once is 4.5 yuan. For every 667 sq m, drip-irrigated cotton spends 48.5 yuan less than conventional irrigation.

2. Improve land utilization

For fields using drip irrigation under film, there is no need to open small canals, no need to build border ridges, and no need to build water-blocking dams, which better improves land utilization.

3. No loss of water, soil, or fertilizer

Most of China's cultivated land is high in the north and low in the south; during sprinkler irrigation, runaway water is easily formed, which easily causes drought in the north and flooding in the south, causing large losses of water, soil, and fertilizer, thereby destroying soil structure. If the self-propelled sprinkler irrigation method is adopted, the drawback of water loss can be avoided.

4. Even dripping

When using a self-propelled sprinkler irrigation machine for sprinkler irrigation, water or fertilizer will be sprayed near the crop roots, and the crops can fully absorb water and fertilizer.
