Sprinkler irrigation: The application of water to the soil for the benefit of present crops.

Sprinkler irrigation. Basic sprinkler types include rotating sprinklers and stationary spray-type nozzles. Rotating sprinklers, such as the slow-rotation, impact-driven sprinkler, are most commonly used. Fixed-spray nozzles are becoming more popular, although they are used most often for landscape applications because their application rates are very high. 5, record 1, English, - fixed%20spray%20sprinkler
