Abstract

The ability to place small amounts of water at precise locations is one of the major advantages of Centre Pivot
and Lateral Move (CP&LM) machines. But given the wide array of soil types, sprinkler packages and crop requirements, what are the most appropriate methods of ensuring this water stays where you want it? This case study looks at the methods employed by four different growers in different situations.
