Micro Sprinkler Spacing Guide for Orchards

Micro Sprinkler Placement Principles

Proper spacing ensures uniform water distribution across your orchard. The key factors are tree spacing, soil type, and sprinkler throw radius.

Calculating Spacing

For most orchards, place one micro sprinkler per tree, positioned 30-50cm from the trunk on the north or east side.

Overlap Guidelines

For full coverage, sprinkler spacing should not exceed 1.7 × throw radius. This ensures adequate overlap between adjacent sprinklers.
