To know how to choose between sprinkler and drip irrigation methods, we first need to understand the differences between sprinkler and drip irrigation in order to better choose according to usage needs.
Drip irrigation belongs to the local irrigation method. Drip irrigation is an irrigation method that delivers a certain amount of low-pressure irrigation water through low-pressure transmission and distribution pipelines to the final pipeline in the facility and the drip head installed on it, and evenly and accurately drips it into the soil surface near the crop root zone or the soil layer where the crop root system is located at a small flow rate.
Sprinkler irrigation is a comprehensive irrigation method. Sprinkler irrigation is an irrigation method that uses water transmission and distribution pipelines to deliver irrigation water to the final pipeline and the nozzles installed on it, evenly and accurately spraying on the branches and leaves of crops and the soil surface around crop roots.
It is better to use drip irrigation when greenhouse vegetables, field crops, etc. require reducing environmental humidity and evaporation. Landscape greening, ornamental plants, and field crops usually use sprinkler irrigation, which is not suitable for use in windy areas. Facility vegetables are generally not suitable for sprinkler irrigation.
