Resumen

The overuse of water in conventional irrigation at the farm level is a global issue that can be addressed by improving irrigation techniques. Sprinkler irrigation can reduce water losses by carefully planning the crop, soil, landscape, and weather conditions, as well as installing the proper sprinkler hardware. The application efficiency of sprinkler systems may be enhanced when these systems are coupled with automation for precise irrigation. Sprinkler irrigation has advanced significantly, but new ideas and current practices are driving further progress. These novel ideas include low-pressure sprinklers, smart controllers, fertigation, water-pesticide integrated sprinkler systems, and variable-rate irrigation. The objective of this work is to highlight the introduction of innovative technologies to optimize sprinkler irrigation systems. Suggestions for the future development of sprinkler irrigation technology are offered to ensure its long-term viability.
