Malanga is a potato-like root crop that needs a year in the ground and a reliable source of supplemental irrigation. Linears and center Pivots can irrigate 24-hours a day all year long. That’s particularly important with malanga.

Pressure loss
Design of the water delivery system will be based on water requirements of the field. Two factors must be known before design of the water delivery system can be done: system gallonage and system operating pressure.
Fine tuning system alignment
Alignment is an important factor in the operation of a center pivot irrigation system. A misaligned system develops high stresses which can cause structural damage along with reducing motor and gearbox life.
