Description
With the transition to industrialized crop and animal production in the GDR, sprinkler irrigation of field forage plants and grassland, above all with sewage water and clean water +slurry mixtures, is becoming more and more important. It gets increasingly concentrated on field grass and grass/clover stands. The supplemental water requirement is 210 to 270 mm/ year in case of clean-water sprinkling and up to 400 mm/year if sewage water is used. The hydro-modulus of the irrigation plants is between 1.2 and 1.6 m3 /h/ha, depending on the simultaneity factor. In order to attain the required water quantity per unit of time, the semi-mobile plants are equipped with rollmove sprinkling lines and, to an ever increasing extent, with circular sprinkling machines. The sprinkling of sewage water, and of slurry in particular, calls for more intensive pre-treatment of these media.

Recommended values for dimensioning and designing sprinkler irrigation in industrialized forage plant production in the GDR
With the transition to industrialized crop and animal production in the GDR, sprinkler irrigation of field forage plants and grassland, above all with sewage water and clean water +slurry mixtures, is becoming more and more important. It gets increasingly concentrated on field grass and grass/clover stands. The supplemental water requirement is 210 to 270 mm/ year in case of clean-water sprinkling and up to 400 mm/year if sewage water is used. The hydro-modulus of the irrigation plants is between 1.2 and 1.6 m3 /h/ha, depending on the simultaneity factor. In order to attain the required water quantity per unit of time, the semi-mobile plants are equipped with rollmove sprinkling lines and, to an ever increasing extent, with circular sprinkling machines. The sprinkling of sewage water, and of slurry in particular, calls for more intensive pre-treatment of these media.
