Micro-sprinklers are adjustable sprinklers that deliver water to a small area. The sprinklers can be adjusted to provide a pattern that is ideal for the plants. They are best suited for crops and trees with a wider root zone. The spray pattern may vary depending on the soil type. The micro-sprinkler can be used to water a variety of plants, including pecans and peaches. Some varieties may require an above-ground installation.
Micro-spray sprinklers are usually spaced between eleven and fifteen feet apart. Large trees, such as sycamores and other plants, may require additional coverage. They can also be equipped with risers that allow them to be elevated above taller plants. In addition to the riser, most micro-spray sprinklers feature built-in adjustable valves and can be plugged directly into the main hose or tube. Many come with pre-set water rates of 1/2, one, or two GPH, depending on the model. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the proper amount of watering, as too much or too little can drown the plants or stunt the growth.
Micro-sprinklers have many advantages over traditional irrigation systems. Because they use a small volume of water, they are an efficient and economical way to irrigate a small area of plants. Unlike traditional sprinklers and spray bodies, micro-sprinklers can be incorporated into drip irrigation systems. Furthermore, micro-sprinklers have several connection options and sizes to fit any irrigation system. Although they are generally used for irrigating trees in a residential or commercial setting, they also work well for large landscapes and greenhouses. They can also be used in situations where you need to provide frost protection.
