Alfalfa Irrigation Method – Sprinkler Irrigation

Fixed sprinkler irrigation
Operation method: Except for the sprinkler head, all other facilities are fixed and stationary. The main and branch pipes are often buried underground, and the sprinkler head can be used as a circular or fan-shaped rotating sprinkler system.
Applicable scenarios: Suitable for economic crop areas with frequent irrigation (such as vegetable planting areas) and high-yield crop areas, with large investment but high degree of automation, convenient management, and the ability to evenly spray water, saving water.
Semi fixed sprinkler irrigation
Operation method: The sprinkler, water pump, and main pipe are fixed, while the branch pipe and nozzle can be moved. This sprinkler irrigation method requires less investment than fixed sprinkler irrigation, and has higher sprinkler irrigation efficiency and automation than mobile sprinkler irrigation.
Applicable scenarios: Usually used for crops grown on large fields, such as alfalfa, whose movement of branch pipes and nozzles requires a certain amount of labor, but can adapt well to different terrains and crop layouts.
Mobile sprinkler irrigation
Operation method: In addition to the water source, power machines, water pumps, main pipes, branch pipes, and nozzles are all movable. Its characteristics are simple structure, strong mobility, low investment, but low degree of automation and low work efficiency.
Applicable scenarios: Suitable for irrigation in gardens and green spaces with natural water sources (ponds, rivers, etc.), commonly used in small alfalfa growers or temporary planting areas.
