Current Status of Microsprinkler Irrigation in the United States
Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 2012Microsprinkler 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.

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,

MICROSPRINKLER IRRIGATION FOR FROST PROTECTION OF CITRUS IN FLORIDA
Acta Horticulturae, 2015In 1979, it was not known if microsprinkler irrigation could provide any frost protection for citrus, and some assumed that this irrigation method would not. Tests during freezes between 1980 and 2010 showed that microsprinklers were effective in protecting the lower 0.9 m of young citrus trees, thereby saving the bud union and allowing later regrowth.

Effect of wheat crop height and canopy coverage on microsprinkling hose irrigation uniformity
Irrigation and Drainage, 2023AbstractCrop shading affects irrigation uniformity and water distribution under microsprinkling hose irrigation (MHI). This study aims to ascertain how MHI distributes irrigation water under crop shading. Various crop heights and canopy coverages of wheat specimens were designed. The experiment was conducted under four working pressures (20, 24, 28 and

Irrigation and Drainage, 2020
AbstractField experiments were conducted for 3 years to investigate an appropriate irrigation management strategy that would lead to increased cabbage productivity along with saving in irrigation water. Cabbage was grown with microsprinkler and drip irrigation methods with four irrigation levels based on crop evapotranspiration (ETc) as 0.8 ETc, 0.9 ...

Ammonium and nitrate distribution in soil using drip and microsprinkler irrigation for citrus
Crops & Soils, 2014Good management of N is critical for improved citrus production and environmental sustainability on Florida sandy soils. Thus, understanding N movement in the root zone is important to devise appropriate nutrient management strategies. Field experiments were conducted on citrus at two sites in Florida to: (i) determine the soil moisture distribution in

Publisher Summary Micro-sprinkler systems are primarily used to irrigate tree and vine crops. The system designs are similar to other micro-irrigation systems, but micro-sprinkler systems generally tend to require a higher flowrate per unit area. Typically micro-sprinkler installations have one 40 to75 L/h flowrate emitter per tree.

Response of Microsprinkler‐Irrigated Navel Oranges to Fertigated Nitrogen Rate and Frequency
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2006Microsprinklers allow precise control of irrigation water applications and offer the potential for higher efficiency of water and fertilizer use compared with flood irrigation. A field experiment was conducted during 1999–2002 in central Arizona (AZ) to evaluate effects of various N rates and fertigation frequencies on fruit yield ...

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.

Crop Coefficients for Microsprinkler-Irrigated, Clean-Cultivated, Mature Citrus in an Arid Climate
Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, 2007Crop evapotranspiration ( ETc ) was measured over a clean-cultivated, mature navel orange orchard with microsprinkler irrigation located near Lindsay, California. Hourly mean latent heat flux density was determined as the residual of the energy balance equation with measured net radiation, soil heat flux density and sensible heat flux density estimated
