Sprinkler irrigation is one of the key methods of irrigation aimed at creating an optimal water balance for crops. For a modern agronomist and practitioner, the correct choice of irrigation technology is the foundation of rational land use, allowing for consideration of the soil and climatic features of the site and environmental requirements. Competent management of soil moisture reserves directly affects the biological potential of plantings, their productivity, and adaptive capabilities in changing environmental conditions.
In this selection, we have systematized materials dedicated to the methodological foundations of planning environmentally safe irrigation regimes. The reader will find expert recommendations on selecting technical means for rational irrigation, as well as detailed reviews of technologies that ensure the efficient use of water resources. The presented articles will help to better understand the relationship between the water regime and crop development, as well as justify the choice of specific irrigation methods to increase the effectiveness of agrotechnical measures under various growing conditions.
