Soil and Water Management
Irrigation Methods

Each method has different characteristics that could make it the best for a particular situation. No one method can be labeled as the best each has its place.

When considering the different irrigation methods, it is important to remember that any method that is well planned and is properly installed, operated and maintained can give the results desired. Every method requires time to irrigate the whole field, so it is very important that irrigation be started early enough that no part of the field suffers moisture stress.
