Micro-irrigation is a water-efficient irrigation technique that delivers water directly to the root zone of plants using low-pressure, low-volume systems

This method is suitable for overhead irrigation on vegetables, surface irrigation in orchards, vineyards and frost protection. Some micro-sprinkler irrigation systems also make it possible to apply fertiliser through the irrigation system.

Centre pivot irrigation is a mechanized sprinkler system that irrigates crops around a central pivot point. These systems are beneficial because of their ability to efficiently use water and optimize a farm’s yield. The systems are highly effective on large fields.

Permanent sprinkler irrigation systems are fixed in place. They require less labour, as they do not need to be moved, and usually require less maintenance from the wear that moving entails. They are commonly used in long-term plantings such as pastures or seasonal crops, like vegetables.
