Optimal Performance from Center Pivot Sprinkler Systems
Bradley A. King and Dennis C. Kincaid
“The main disadvantage of Center Pivot irrigation systems is the high water application rates under their outer spans to compensate for the increased rate of travel.”
“Application rates under the outer spans of the standard quarter-mile-long low pressure center pivot normally exceed infiltration rate and result in runoff.”
“The application rate of low pressure spray sprinklers can be reduced by using offset booms on alternate sides of the center pivot lateral.”
