Because of their short irrigation diameter and low water discharge volume, plastic impact sprinklers are designed for small farms. They work best on short crops. During installation, plastic PVC and HDPE, canvas delivery, or metallic GI pipes drive water to the sprinkler. The choice between a plastic one and a metallic sprinkler is on the farmer’s budget. The latter has a longer usable lifespan, is susceptible to damage but costs more. Plastic versions are easier to handle, carry and operate. They cost less but are easily damaged and so have a shorter usable lifespan.

How to use a plastic impact sprinkler

During irrigation, consider crops that are not susceptible to foliage fungal infections as a result of wetness on their leaves. Drip irrigate for tomato, peppers, potato, chili and other solanaceous crops. This is to avoid excess moisture on their leaves. For the reason that they quickly succumb to leaf fungal infections as a result of wetness. Certain bean types, snow-peas, and mangetout too will easily get leaf fungal infections under sprinklers.

Common food crops such as; onion, cabbage, grass and legume pastures. Others are; garlic, carrot, maize, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, watermelon, orchards, forestry crops.
