Justification of technological solutions for irrigation with electrified circular sprinkler machines

Abstract

Improving the quality of irrigation can be achieved by changing the irrigation rate in accordance with the level of moisture reserves of the field areas at the time of watering, eliminating over-watering and water erosion of soils. The purpose of the presented research was to improve the technological process of irrigation with wide-reach circular sprinkler machines, which ensures the reduction of unproductive water losses, improving the quality of irrigation. The article discusses theoretical studies of irrigation technology with circular sprinkler machines, optimized irrigation modes. Based on the conducted experimental studies, a comparative assessment of the work of sprinklers according to the standard and proposed technology, taking into account the adjustment of irrigation norms, is presented. Comparison of standard and proposed irrigation technologies with sprinkler machines showed that irrigation using the proposed technology allows saving irrigation water up to 10%.
