Irrigation Method

Irrigation Method 

  • Overhead Irrigation 
  • Centre Pivot Irrigation 
  • Lateral Move Irrigation 
  • Micro Irrigation

Overhead Irrigation 

Overhead irrigation is also known as sprinkler irrigation. In overhead irrigation water is applied in the form of spray or artificial rain. In overhead irrigation water loss is high. Overhead irrigation have higher evaporation rate. Overhead irrigation method is used when there is no shortage of water. In overhead irrigation power consumption is high. 

Center Pivot Irrigation 

Center pivot irrigation some time called as central pivot irrigation and also called as water wheel and circle irrigation. Centre pivot irrigation is a method of crop irrigation. Center Pivot Irrigation A device that rotates around a pivot and sprinkles water like artificial rain. In center pivot irrigation power consumption is high. Centre pivot is highly effective on large land fields.

Lateral Move Irrigation 

Lateral move irrigation is a close cousin of the center pivot. Lateral move is used in large field. Lateral move is power consumption is high. In lateral move irrigation water loss is high. 

Micro Irrigation

Micro irrigation is also known as drip irrigation. In micro irrigation water directly provide in crop root. In this irrigation used dripper line and it is high water efficiency. In micro irrigation water is applied in the from of drip. In micro irrigation water loss is less. Micro irrigation have negligible evaporation rate. Micro irrigation method is used when there is shortage of water. In micro irrigation power consumption is less. Micro irrigation is suitable to all type land. micro irrigation method is labour saving method and flexibility in operation. Micro irrigation is easy to installation and water saving.
