How to choose the right irrigation equipment for your orchard?

• Choose according to the scale of the orchard: For small orchards, portable sprinkler machines can be selected, while for large orchards, travelling hose reel irrigation machines need to be considered.

• Consider the water source conditions: Ensure that there is a stable water source near the orchard, such as a well or a reservoir, the sprinkler machine is right. If the water resources are not abundant, rain guns with tripods are better.

• According to the growth spacing of different tree species: For fruit trees such as apple trees and pear trees, etc., the row spacing of fruit tree planting is relatively large. The truss-type (spray boom or wing) sprinkler machine can move between the rows without affecting the growth of the fruit trees. At the same time, according to the water demand characteristics of different parts of the fruit trees, the position of the sprinkler head and the spraying intensity can be adjusted to provide sufficient and appropriate water for the fruit trees, while avoiding mechanical damage to the fruit trees. If spraying a long distance is required for fruit trees, it is better to use a travelling hose reel irrigation device equipped with an impact sprinkler.
