Water leaves a sprinkler or spray nozzle at a given angle or trajectory. If the sprinkler’s deflector pads direct the trajectory slightly upward, water will travel farther from the nozzle producing a larger wetted diameter. The wetted diameter is also impacted by the height of the sprinkler in relation to the soil’s surface and the [...]

Irrigation can be used in hot weather to cool crops and soil. This may lead to better yields. Crops absorb water from the soil through their roots. The water is transported through the plant tissues and eventually released through the leaves to the atmosphere as vapor. This is known as transpiration. Evaporation is water that [...]
Soil salt is a major factor limiting crop growth. When salt concentrations in the soil are high, the movement of water from the soil to the root is slowed down. When the salt concentrations in the soil are higher than inside the root cells, the soil will draw water from the root, and the plant [...]
Many growers use sprinkler irrigation on berries and other crops for frost/freeze protection to temperatures as low as 22-degrees Fahrenheit. As the temperature drops below freezing, the water sprayed on the plants starts to freeze. Heat is released as the applied water changes to ice (80 calories of heat energy are released as 1 gram [...]
Drip certainly has its place in irrigation but there are benefits to Wobblers for certain field installations. In some soils, water does not disburse horizontally. Roots may not be close enough to drip outlets to receive adequate water. For this reason, additional irrigation is sometimes needed at certain stages of plant development. Wobblers can be [...]
Sprinkler manufacturers do not publish the actual droplet dimensions. This would be difficult to measure and would not address what that size really means. Instead, they provide more general droplet information – small, medium, large. Tighter soils require smaller droplets because they have a lower kinetic energy. However, smaller droplets are susceptible to wind drift, [...]
Low pressure irrigation translates to reduced horsepower requirements and reduced energy consumption. With rising fuel and electricity costs, low operating pressures offer you a tremendous opportunity to lower total pumping costs. The savings vary depending on your specific system. Hours of operation, flow, pressure, energy source, and cost are all considerations. We at Senninger have [...]
A sprinkler profile illustrates where water falls in relation to the sprinkler. This is based on flow, pressure, and height. A denso-gram illustrates the distribution uniformity from this information based on spacing. A single applicator’s uniformity is only part of the picture. The effect of overlapping applicator footprints or, in the case of mechanical move [...]
