Transpiration and irrigation systems
Irrigation systems which apply water frequently to crops (drip, center Pivot, and solid set sprinkler irrigation systems) can mantain relatively constant, high soil moisture levels in the soil. Therefore they contribute to higher transpiration rates.
Safety precautions
Due to recent accidents involving Pivot irrigation machines, we’ve decided to make a post explaining some directions that are usually listed in every Pivot operator’s manual. Many irrigators have received minor tingles while working around electrical irrigation machinery. Under pressure to keep the system running, they tend to ignore warning signs until serious injury occurs….
