Optimal Irrigation Strategies and Technical Selection for Different Crop Systems

Field crop system
The irrigation of field crops such as corn and wheat is shifting from flood irrigation to sprinkler irrigation and mobile drip irrigation. Research has shown that using drip irrigation during critical growth periods can increase the water use efficiency of corn by 25-30%. The application of underground drip irrigation technology in field crops is increasing, especially in areas with extreme water scarcity. 

Orchard and Vineyard
The technical selection of micro sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation in fruit tree planting depends on the tree species and terrain. Citrus crops are more suitable for micro sprinkler irrigation, while vineyards generally use drip irrigation systems. The latest research shows that the zone controlled drip irrigation system can provide precise water supply according to the needs of different tree ages and varieties, saving 15-20% of water. 

facility agriculture
The irrigation technology requirements in greenhouses and hydroponic systems are the highest and need to be closely integrated with the fertilization system. New irrigation methods such as tidal irrigation and NFT (nutrient film technology) are becoming increasingly widely used in high-end greenhouses. The intelligent control system can achieve personalized water and fertilizer management for each crop.
