Riego por aspersión : Con este método el agua se aplica al suelo en forma de lluvia utilizando unos dispositivos de emisión de agua, denominados aspersores, que generan un chorro de agua pulverizada en gotas. El agua sale por los aspersores dotada de presión y llega hasta ellos a través de una red de tuberías cuya complejidad y longitud depende de la dimensión y la configuración de la parcela a regar. 1, record 1, Spanish, - riego%20por%20aspersi%C3%B3n

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Riego por aspersión es un método en que el agua es esparcida sobre una superficie de terreno, a semejanza de una lluvia, por causa del fraccionamiento de chorro en un número de gotas de agua que se esparcen sobre el terreno. Este fraccionamiento es obtenido por el flujo de agua bajo presión a través de pequeños orificios o bocales. Para tal efecto, el agua es conducida y aplicada por medio de equipos, que normalmente comprenden motobombas, tuberías y aspersores de las más diversas capacidades y características de fabricación. Es un sistema de riego que permite un perfecto control de la lámina de riego aplicada y un ajuste bastante rígido en las condiciones de suelo-clima-planta involucradas en el sistema.... La irrigación por aspersión se adapta a casi todos los cultivos. 4, record 3, Spanish, - riego%20por%20aspersi%C3%B3n

El riego por aspersión es el sistema que se asemeja a la lluvia cubriendo la "lluvia artificial" la superficie de cultivo a regar. El agua para que se disperse en gotas de distinto tamaño debe salir a presión por orificios y boquillas (aspersores), por ello también el sistema genéricamente se denomina riego presurizado. 5, record 3, Spanish, - riego%20por%20aspersi%C3%B3n
