Sprinkler irrigation is a method of irrigation that uses a water pump to pressurize or natural drop to transport irrigation water through a sprinkler system to the field, and evenly sprays it onto the farmland through nozzles to provide water for the normal growth of crops. Sprinkler irrigation techniques are the main form of large-scale mechanization to solve efficient water-saving irrigation and fertilization problems for field crops, lawns, vegetables, and economic forests. With the rapid advancement of scientific technology and irrigation and fertilization equipment, sprinkler irrigation has become a modern agricultural production technology system that integrates irrigation, fertilization, and proactive management.
There are many situations of sprinkler irrigation systems, and there are different classification methods based on different classification criteria. If classified according to the degree of mobility of the main parts of the sprinkler irrigation system during the irrigation season, it can be divided into fixed sprinkler irrigation systems, mobile sprinkler irrigation systems, and semi fixed sprinkler irrigation systems.
