Overview
Center pivot irrigation, also known as a pivot irrigation or a circle irrigation, is a type of irrigation system that uses a long pipe or hose that is typically made of a durable, corrosion-resistant material such as polyethylene or PVC , which mounted on wheels and supported by a series of tall towers. The pipe is equipped with sprinklers or emitters spaced along its length, and is powered by an electric motor or a diesel engine. The machine rotates around a central pivot point, irrigating a circular area as it goes and ensuring that the crop is irrigated evenly and efficiently.
Center pivot irrigation systems are commonly used to irrigate crops such as corn, soybeans, wheat, and alfalfa. They are especially useful in flat or gently sloping fields, as they can cover a large area with relatively little setup and maintenance.
Center pivot irrigation systems are often equipped with a control panel that allows the operator to adjust the speed and direction of the machine, as well as the flow rate of the water. Some systems also have sensors and automated controls that can adjust the irrigation process based on weather conditions or soil moisture levels.Therefore, they are particularly well-suited for use in arid or semi-arid regions where water is a limited resource.
Advantages
- Efficiency: Center pivot irrigation systems are designed to deliver water in a more targeted and efficient manner than other types of irrigation. This can help to reduce water usage and save on irrigation costs.
- Precise application: Center pivot irrigation systems allow for precise control of the flow rate and distribution of water, ensuring that crops are irrigated evenly and efficiently.
- Labor savings: Center pivot irrigation systems can be automated and operated remotely, which can help to reduce labor costs and improve productivity.
- Wide coverage: Center pivot irrigation systems can cover a large area, making them a good option for irrigating large fields or for use in flat or gently sloping terrain.
- Adaptability: Center pivot irrigation systems can be easily adjusted to accommodate changes in the shape or size of the field, as well as changes in weather conditions or soil moisture levels.
