CENTER PIVOT VS. DRIP IRRIGATION Center pivot irrigation is the leading method of irrigation for crops around the world. Drip irrigation and other methods of irrigation, are being replaced with center pivot irrigation systems. Watering crops with uniformity and precise amounts is highly efficient when using center pivot irrigation. Combined with remote management, variable rate technology and sprinkler efficiency, it is the right choice for the grower. The grower is using less water, which in turn saves both energy and labor costs.
ADVANTAGES OF CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION Life span of system is 25+ years Easy and standardized process to install Easily see when a sprinkler isn't operating properly Water comes down on soil like rain, causing seeds to germinate Save time and labor costs
DISADVANTAGES OF DRIP IRRIGATION Drip systems last 12 to 15 years Difficult installation Continually needs to be checked Subsurface drip systems can't stimulate seed germination Requires more labor management
