In a World as busy as ours, a World where petroleum was once the center of it all and the back bone of every economy. Agriculture recently started to take a different dimension
in other words, it's no longer only the subsistence farming but also the commercial farming. All attention now has been shifted to farming, the modern day farming.
Before we go further, Let's take a look to what ''modern agricultures'' means. Modern Agriculture means an evolving approach to agricultural innovations and farming practices that help farmers increase efficiency and reduce the number of natural resources like water, land, and energy necessary to meet the world's food, fuel, and fiber needs. The World's population is fast growing and what this means is that the World needs more Food if the World must be alive and healthy.
Today, I bring to you one out of the many gadget that has been technologically designed to assist you with your farm work, ''Sprinkling''. I have come across many people who complain how they have to go round their farms every day all in the name of doing what we call farm watering, which they do the local way. I want to also let the farmers know, I mean, the much people I can reach out to, especially those ones in the rural communities that agriculture/farming can be very interesting if done with the proper tool and Machine Some of these tools/Machines are the Tractors, bulldozer, Tillers, Harvester, Water Sprinkling Machine, Rain guns, Sprinklers, Et cetera.
Before we deviate, let's focus on Rain gun. The Rain Gun comes in different sizes; 1 1/2'', 2'', and 2 1/2'' respectively. Let's see some of the Specifications of above motioned models Rain gun;
1 1/2''Rain Gun Specification;
1. AY-1030
2. Size: 1.5''
3. Nozzle: 10mm
4. Pressure: 3-5 bar
5. Radius: 22-25m
6. Flow rate: 7-9 m3/h
2'' Rain Gun Specification;
1. AY-1040
2. Size: 2''
3. Nozzle: 14mm
4. Pressure: 3-5 bar
5. Radius: 26-30m
6. Flow rate: 10.6 - 22.3m3/h
2 1/2'' Rain Gun Specification;
1. AY-1050
2. Size: 2.5''
3. Nozzle: 20mm
4. Pressure: 4-6 bar
5. Radius: 27-38m
6. Flow rate: 10.6 - 22.3m3/h
See below some Advantages of Rain Gun;
1. The water dissolves the nitrogen from air and gives it to soil, thereby adding nutritive value to soil. This is one of the reasons for increase in yield
2. Pests and insects get washed away during Rain Gun irrigation.
3. Uniformity in irrigation.
4. Easier application of fertilizer and pesticides.
5. Easy intercultural operation
6. Saves time and energy
7. Increased productivity. And lots more.
This article will not be complete without stating some of the disadvantages of using a Rain Gun. See below;
1. The rain gun and the raiser pipes are very heavy.
2. Not suitable in areas with high velocity Winds.
3. Prohibitive cost of rain guns.
4. Large numbers of trees make it difficult to sprinkle uniformly.
5. High day time temperatures result in evaporation loss. And so forth.
To be able to achieve the desired results, all you need do is to use the appropriate tool, be it a Rain Gun or a Sprinkler that is meant for the plant which it is designed for. Why waste time and energy when a lot more can be achieved with a minimal recourses. Remember, No time is ever too late.
