Drip Pan for Field Plot Sprinkle Irrigation

Abstract

The construction and use of the drip pan are described. It was developed for irrigating small field plots in remote locations by simulated rainfall and has a combination of advantages not found in other plot irrigators. The drip pan is inexpensive to build, easily operated by one man, sturdy, portable, clog resistant, and adaptable to a wide variety of treatment requirements and site conditions. It applies water uniformly over the plot area and requires minimum or no border barriers.
