Abstract:Irrigation is a critical resource in meeting the global demand for food, feed, fiber, and fuel. One water optimization method with high potential and interest is the use of more efficient irrigation systems. In many areas where pivots are used, the most common sprinkler package is mid‐elevation sprinkler application (MESA), which typically has application efficiencies near 80%. Low‐energy precision application (LEPA) and mobile drip irrigation (MDI) can have greater than 95% application efficiency. The objecti… Show more
