PREPARATION OF THE FIELD WITHIN A CROP ROTATION FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF IRRIGATION SYSTEMS WITH PIVOT AND LINEAR SPRINKLER IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT. LAND LEVELING SOLUTIONS

Abstract

For good functionality and increased efficiency, it is preferable that the soils to be irrigated with modern pivot and linear sprinkler equipment, be properly prepared by ensuring the uniformity of the ground for their proper movement and respectively to ensure a good drainage of these land surfaces. The paper presents some of the solutions and technological stages for leveling and systematizing the land, as well as the specific technological equipment used. The geometric preparation of the fields within a crop rotation that will benefit from mobile irrigation systems obviously requires investments that generate costs, but these costs are then reflected in the increase in land value, first of all, in the decrease of losses (by eliminating puddle areas and protecting irrigation facilities for unintended accidents due to a kneaded ground), secondly. Dedicated design programs, as well as the use of laser and GPS technology incorporated earthmoving machinery, eases the project implementation, ensure increased accuracy, shorten the development / execution time and help find optimal technical and financial solutions. The importance of preparing by remodeling of the surfaces where mobile watering equipment is to be used is revealed by their increased efficiency, both as a mode of operation and as time / costs.
