HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT MICRO SPRINKLERS

Micro sprinklers (mini sprinklers) are widely application in orchard irrigations, vegetables, as it’s specification as the high uniformity, medium wetted diameter and flowrate.

Micro sprinklers can perform two tasks at the same time: providing water to the roots area, cooling and humidifying the growing environment.

THE MAIN FACTORS

  • Flow rate: Normally micro sprinklers have the flowrate from about 30lph to about 300lph. This can wet the grow area fast while still can save the water.
  • Diameter: Micro sprinklers usually can perform about 10m of diameter.
  • Range limitation (radius adjustment): With this function it is good use for small tree, when the root zone is very small. But after few years, we need to expand the radius to meet the expanded root zone.
  • Uniform: the ground should be wetted very uniformity.
  • PC and None PC feature. In case the farm is hilly or big farm you need to choose the PC one to ensure the same diameter and flowrate at each sprinklers.

The main applications

  • Orchard irrigation: This is the most popular application with mini sprinklers. With orchard you may need a PC and range limited one.
  • Sandy soil. With sandy soil, water absorbs very quickly in a vertical direction. With sprinkler irrigation, even coverage helps the roots receive the amount of water they need.
  • Floating roots tree. This case e.g bananas you can consider to apply sprinklers instead of dripline as the wetted from sprinklers can cover all the ground where the root active.
  • High density vegetable. No other solution can be better than mini sprinkler irrigation.
  • It also common apply in turf and landscape irrigation.
Micro impact sprinklers

PROS

  • The larger soil area can be wetted.
  • Supply both water for the rood and the humidity and cool.
  • Easy to control, the nozzle blockages are more visible.
  • Best suite for orchard or high density plants such as vegetable, pasture…

AND CONS

  • Higher evaporation losses.
  • More water need, in some case, it is water waste.
  • Larger in pipe size, pump size.
  • Need to be more careful in design and hydraulic calculation

Selecting a suitable sprinkler

Micro sprinkler irrigation is suitable for almost all types of orchards, vegetables, and all types of soil terrain. However, you also need to analyze and choose carefully to get the most effective irrigation system.

Factors to consider include uniformity, irrigation radius, nozzle density, flow rate, and pipe size, filter selection and pumping system…
