Orchards & Fruit Farms
Micro-sprinkler and localized irrigation approaches for mangoes, avocados, citrus and other tree crops.
Give trees the water they need
Orchards benefit from wider wetting patterns and deeper soaking. Micro-sprinklers and multiple-root-zone emitters help maintain soil moisture across tree rootzones.
Spacing & emitters
- Micro-sprinklers spaced according to canopy size (often 3–10 m)
- Use multiple emitters per tree for large canopies
- Group trees into zones by age and water need
Practical tips
- Design zones to match irrigation run times and refilling frequency
- Filter and flush lines regularly to prevent emitter fouling
- Monitor soil moisture at root depth rather than surface only
Canopy-based zoning
Zone trees with similar canopy size and water requirements together to make scheduling easier and more efficient.
Pump & filter sizing
Plan filter capacity for the peak number of emitters and ensure pump flow meets simultaneous-run requirements.
Rootzone checks
Measure soil moisture below the surface to confirm effective watering of the root zone, especially after irrigation runs.
