Abstract

BECAUSE of certain inherent advantages
in sprinkler irrigation, interest
in sprinkler irrigation research is increasing.
However, problems arise in sprinkling
small plots at low application rates. Because
a representative portion of the overlapping
sprinkler patterns must be used
for the sprinkled plots, large border areas
are needed with full-circle sprinklers.
Part-circle sprinklers reduce border areas,
but double or quadruple water application
rates when set on half- or quarter-circle,
respectively.
