In our time of high technology, new methods of automatic irrigation (the best sprinkler heads) have been introduced, which considerably simplify the care and cultivation of both landscape plants and fruit and vegetable crops.
There are sprinkler head types, several types of automatic watering: it’s sprinkler heads, drip sprinkler heads, and inland submersible sprinkler heads. Let’s consider them separately – different types of sprinkler heads.
Sprinkler irrigation is considered the most optimal option for care of plants both in open soil and in greenhouses. Water thanks to various types of sprinkler heads are evenly distributed over the irrigation zones. On sale are pull-out types of sprinkler heads, which after irrigation fall down to the ground, which does not spoil the appearance of your garden area, flower bed or lawn.
If the pull-out sprinkler heads are expensive for you, then there are ground-based sprinklers that are most commonly used in small areas.
Sprinkler heads are available with different irrigation sectors (90, 180, 360 degrees), so if necessary, you can calculate the required sectors where watering will occur. There are models of sprinkler heads with an adjustable angle of irrigation, which is very convenient in the presence of a site with complex geometry. Thanks to the rainwater for a short time, a large area is watered. This type of watering is suitable for most lawn crops.
The main advantage of drip irrigation is the supply of water directly to each plant in accordance with its needs. The soil constantly maintains the required moisture and oxygen supply. Therefore, water and energy consumption is saved several times, unlike traditional watering methods. This method is widely used in growing vegetables and flowers in greenhouses – different sprinkler heads.
Inland ground watering is simply necessary for the irrigation of various greenhouse perennials. For such watering, special porous polyethylene pipes are needed that are laid in the ground. They have plenty of holes for soil moisture. Due to this irrigation, the soil is saturated with air, which means that the crop is growing. The upper layer remains dry, which prevents the growth of weeds. In addition, due to the presence of this dry surface, the root system is protected from mushroom diseases. Inland watering always has access to cultivated plants, as the top layer is not moisturized.
In any case, the best automatic watering system for you will be considered an option that is made in conjunction with the design of your landscape (be it a city, a greenhouse, a summer cottage or suburban area), where it is possible to apply different types of watering and where all the smallest details
Sprinklers that provide spray water flow are divided into three types: static, rotary and pulsed sprinkler heads.
Impulse sprinkler heads work through the jet from the nozzle, sprinkling the ground in small portions with low rain intensity. They provide especially “soft” and gentle hydration of plants, so they are great for the irrigation of large and medium-sized plots of land where flowers, fruit and berries, vegetables and other similar crops are grown. Static sprinkler heads – a great option for watering flowerbeds and lawns with small or medium areas and plenty of narrow areas. Such devices are capable of forming rain-shaped, different shapes (squares, rectangles, circles, etc.), which makes watering only where it really is necessary without excessive use of water.
Sprinkler heads of rotor type provide irrigation with a jet of water that slowly rotates in a circle with a certain radius. By changing the special nozzles that connect to the sprinklers, you can easily adjust the radius of the jet, its height and the level of water consumption. Rotary sprinkler heads are great for use in open areas of medium and large areas, watering flower beds, lawns, etc. Sprinkler irrigation allows you to achieve full automatic watering with pre-set water flow rates and time intervals, which is its main advantage. Due to this area of plants can receive exactly the amount of moisture that needs, and not a drop of less or more.
