Hose-reel Sprinkler Irrigation: Testing Performance in Irrigated Environment for Various Operating Conditions

Description

Field study was conducted to evaluate the Performance of Hose-reel Machine for wheat crop growth was studied. The machine was operated at 55 psi to 67 psi pressure and field data was collected. Results of the study revealed that the cart gun covered a maximum wetted radius of 40.8 m at 62 psi. The application efficiency was maximum as 75.65% at the base pressure of 60 psi and the distribution uniformity as 73.85% at 62 psi. The wheat crop yield per unit area found to vary from 25% to 30% higher with the Hose-reel Sprinkler system.This book certainly enhance learning among researcher, scientists, students and farm mangers and helps planning research studies. The authors appreciate the efforts of Barthlemy Chaton and his team in facilitating and highly acknowledge publishing of it by LAMBERT Academic Publishing for technical knowledge sharing internationally.
