Specific advantages of irrigating with URAPIVOT® Systems

By means of the Urapivotpivot center and lateral systems, the right amount of water is provided at the right time and delivered uniformly.

Pivot centers or linear vs. flood irrigation systems

More efficient use of water.

Accurate and uniform application of water along the furrows is achieved, instead of too much water at the beginning of the furrow and too little at the end.

It allows to control the time and amount of water applied. It also generates less wastewater, thus avoiding contamination of the water table and nearby streams.

Lower labor costs and better returns on investment.

When irrigating with a linear or center pivot irrigation system, everything is automated. A single technician can operate up to 25 pivots.

The long life of an Urapivot irrigation pivot saves money. It uses less water and reduces energy costs due to a lower working pressure requirement. It also allows for uniform, accurate and economical application of chemicals and fertilizers.

Pivot centers or linear vs. drip irrigation systems

The installation of a subsurface drip irrigation system, a 125+ acre buried dripline, costs 200% more than the center pivot system. Irrigation performance is similar to drip irrigation (95% -97%).

Fewer maintenance problems and labor costs.

Compared to a drip irrigation system, maintenance of a center pivot or linear system is much simpler. There are no outlet blockages, no filter maintenance. Rodents, roots and farm machinery will not damage the system.

Greater benefits for the farmer and the environment.

Linear and center pivot irrigation systems can be operated and monitored remotely. Water can be applied shortly after planting and can be reapplied as many times as needed. In addition, it does not damage the field.

Irrigation of a wide variety of crops.

These machines can irrigate almost any type of crop, fiber, forage or horticultural crop.
