Effects of Orifice Size on Microsprinkler Clogging Rates
Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 1995The clogging rates of microsprinkler emitters with orifice diameters of 0.76 mm (0.03 in., black base), 1.02 mm (0.04 in., blue base), 1.27 mm (0.05 in., green base), and 1.52 mm (0.06 in., red base) were evaluated in a citrus grove over a three-year period.

Water Use in Drip- and Microsprinkler-Irrigated Citrus Trees
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2014Advanced citrus production systems (ACPS) are being evaluated in Florida citrus groves for sustainable, profitable citrus production. The ACPS practic- es provide tight control over water and nutrient-mediated plant growth and development using irrigation to train the root system into a limited area and fertigate with daily nutrient requirements. Thus,

Status of Microsprinkler System Design, Operation, and Maintenance in 2010
5th National Decennial Irrigation Conference Proceedings, 5-8 December 2010, Phoenix Convention Center, Phoenix, Arizona USA, 2010Microsprinkler irrigation is often the preferred method of irrigation for tree and vine crops since it provides a greater degree of freeze protection than drip irrigation and provides water and energy savings over sprinkler and flood irrigation methods.

Changes in Microsprinkler Discharges Resulting from Long-term Use
Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 1993An experiment was conducted to determine if wear on emitter orifices over long periods of operation could significantly affect microsprinkler discharge rates. Twelve combinations of flow control method, base size, and operating pressure were used in the experiment.

Damage to Microsprinkler Riser Assemblies from Selenisa Sueroides Caterpillars
Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 1994Larvae of Selenisa sueroides (Guenee) are known to use the spaghetti tubing on microsprinkler assemblies in Florida citrus groves as alternate hosts to native plant species with hollow stems. The S. sueroides caterpillars chew holes in the spaghetti tubing in order to enter and pupate. An experiment was conducted to determine if S.

Emitter and Spaghetti Tubing Effects on Microsprinkler Flow Uniformity
Transactions of the ASAE, 1989ABSTRACT MICROSPRINKLER assembly discharge variations were examined to partition contributions from the spaghetti tubing and the emitter. The coefficients of variation (CV) of the emitters alone were found to be excellent (less than 2%) for the two models tested. Variations in 0.61 m lengths of spaghetti tubing ranged from 2.0% to 7.6%.

Microsprinkling effect on the microclimate in vine nursery.
2020Subject of investigation was the evaporative-cooling effect of microsprinkler irrigation on improving vine production in the nursery. According to the obtained results, microsprinkling reduced the temperature of the aboveground air by 2.1-4.8°C and increased the air relative humidity by 4.4–15.8% on the average.

Response of Okra Under Microsprinkler and Surface Methods of Irrigation
2017Investigations were carried out to study the effect of microsprinkler on water economy, growth and yield of okra at H.R.C., Patharchatta, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar during 2001–2002. The crop was grown as an intercrop in between the rows of litchi.

Micrometeorological test of microsprinklers for frost protection of fruit orchards
2002Intermittent irrigation proved to be very good both for plant protection and for a better water use (greater irrigated area, lower risk of oxygen deficiency in the root zone). The goal of this research is to investigate about the efficiency of different sprinkler types and water volumes in enhancing air temperature in the canopy layer and to optimise ...
