What is the irrigation of the central rotation?
Central rotation irrigation is a way to irrigate crops using irrigation pipes that rotate around the central beer. Sometimes it is also called irrigation of a central beer or circle. This method is connected by an area in the shape of a circle around the rotation and this is often the cause of circular patterns observed in aircraft photographs of crops. The device used for this type of irrigation can also be changed to move in a straight line. In this case, it is known as linear irrigation system .
Parts of the central rotary irrigation system generally include pipes, truss towers, towers and sprinklers. The water is powered from the central swivel point through the pipeline and to the individual sprayer. The tubes are usually connected and held by the beams that are mounted on the tower of the wheels. Sprinklers are placed along the length of the pipe.
The center rotary systems move by a circular movement with the pace set by the farthest wheels. The inner wheels thatThey are located between the pipe segments, they have angle sensors to determine when the wheels rotate to align the pipe segments. Most systems are powered by electric motors, but hydraulic energy can also be used.
General length for the center irrigation systems is 1,320 ft (400 m) and this size of the system can irrigate about 130 acres. Other lengths are also used, but generally do not exceed 1,640,42 ft (500 m). The systems are usually located in one place, but can also be pulled between two places, so a larger area can be connected by one system.
Most sprinkler systems in central rotary irrigation are drop systems that have a U -shaped or goose, attached tubes attached to the top of the main pipe. Sprinklers' heads are only traces of crops to reduce wind and evaporation. Alternatively, drops can be used in a system called PREaplication Cision for inserting water directly using towing hoses or bubblers.
One of the advantages of central rotary systems is that even if they require adequately flat terrain, they are able to operate on more uneven terrain than most other irrigation systems. The amount of water used can be adjusted by changing the system speed and the center rotary systems can also be used to apply some types of fertilizers and pesticides. Another advantage is that a relatively small amount of work is required. The disadvantage, however, is that the initial cost of irrigation of the center can be considerable compared to other types of systems.
