Center Pivot Irrigation
Center pivot irrigation is a method where equipment rotates around a pivot, irrigating a circular area. Ideal for large, flat fields of crops such as alfalfa or wheat.
Drip Irrigation
Drip irrigation delivers water directly to the base or root zone of a plant using emitters, minimizing water loss. Best for high-value crops and water-scarce regions.
Subsurface Irrigation
Subsurface irrigation delivers water below the soil surface directly to the roots by using buried pipes or tubes. Best used in areas with high evaporation rates.
Furrow Irrigation
Furrow irrigation involves creating furrows or channels along the field length and filling them with water. Best for row crops like cotton, maize, and vegetables.
Flood Irrigation
Flood irrigation involves covering the entire field with water. Best for crops that can withstand a large amount of water, such as rice.
