Sprinklers for Onion and Tomato (Peragambi Field)
Modern Agriculture facing lot of problems like power shortage, labour shortage, water scarcity.
Since farmers are looking for the solution, by the way they getting knowledge by neighbor farmers, magazine, and Television. This farmer approaches us by his neighbour. After that we gathers the requirement for the field owner about the area, type of crops he going to cultivate. After that careful study we prescribed semipermanent Butterfly Irrigation system is suitable for his field we provide the technical detail and benefits gained by him as follow
We can apply sprinkler for home gardening, landscaping, fodder growing, groundnut, all type of flower, all herbal plants, coconut farms, turmeric etc.,
We designed this system with spacing of 15 Feet X 15 Feet between sprinklers. So there are 170 Sprinklers placed in One Acre. Here 170 Sprinklers are divided into 3 circutes (Because 7.5 HP Pump) controlled with Ball Valves. These ball valves are opened manually for irrigation.

Benefits of Sprinklers
| Flood Irrigation System | Sprinkler Irrigation System | Benefits | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Area / Yield | Having Canal and Furrow which reduce the cultivation area. (Ex. 1 Acre Used Land is 80 Cents) | No Canal and Furrow which increase the cultivation area (Ex. 1 Acre Used Land 1 Acre) So Remaining 20 % Yield benefits are here | 20 % Gain |
| Irrigation Timing | 3 Hours for 1 Acre | 40 Mins for 1 Acre | 2.20 Mins Saving |
| Water Needed | 75000 Litre / 1 Acre | 20000 Litre/ Acre | 55000 Litre Saving |
| Power Consumption | 19 Units in 3 Phase | 4 Units in 3 Phase | 15 Units Saving |
| Labour | 3 Hours for 1 Acre | Almost Nill / 1 Acre | 3 Hours Saving |
