How does the installation height of adjustable micro sprinklers affect irrigation results

In modern agricultural irrigation technology, adjustable micro-sprinklers have gradually become the preferred equipment for farm operators and gardening enthusiasts due to their precise and efficient irrigation characteristics. The irrigation effect of adjustable micro-sprinklers is not fixed, but is affected by many factors, among which the installation height is a key element.
The installation height of the adjustable micro sprinkler head refers to the vertical distance between the sprinkler head and the ground. The choice of this height is not only directly related to the uniformity of irrigation water distribution, but also has a significant impact on crop growth conditions and water use efficiency. Reasonable installation height can ensure that the irrigation water acts on the crops in the best shape and speed, thereby significantly improving the irrigation effect.
For low-growing crops, such as vegetables and herbs, it is recommended to set the installation height of the adjustable micro-sprinkler lower. This is because low-growing crops often have shallow root systems and densely spaced leaves, and even moisture distribution is critical to their proper growth. If the installation height is too high, the irrigation water will be sprayed in the air in the form of larger droplets or mist, causing part of the water to evaporate in the air, while the other part may fall directly on the crop leaves and cannot effectively penetrate into the root zone. In this case, the roots may not receive enough water, affecting crop growth and yield.
In contrast, for tall crops, such as trees and arbors, the installation height of the micro-sprinkler needs to be appropriately increased. The crowns, branches and leaves of tall crops will block the direct fall of irrigation water. If the installation height is too low, the irrigation water may be intercepted by the crown, resulting in unsatisfactory irrigation results. In addition, tall crops often have deeper root systems and greater water requirements. By appropriately raising the installation height, you can ensure that irrigation water evenly covers the root area while reducing the obstruction of irrigation water by the tree crown.
When choosing the installation height, it is important to note that this parameter is not static. In actual operation, various factors such as the growth stage of the crop, climatic conditions, and soil conditions should be comprehensively considered. For example, in the early stages of crop growth, the root system has not yet fully developed, and denser irrigation water distribution is needed to ensure normal growth of the crop; in the later stages of growth, when the root system is more developed, the irrigation intensity can be appropriately reduced to reduce water consumption.
