ABSTRACT:
A field irrigator of the movable type, adapted to move slowly through a long irrigation zone and comprising a rotary water gun mounted on a drive chassis and receiving water through a hose from a supply source at one end of the irrigation zone. The irrigator is connected or provided with a control system causing the chassis to move stepwise along the zone and wait at the end of each short step until an irrigation detector, preferably a timer, has registered the attainment of a predetermined irrigation in or along the step. A truly constant irrigation along the entire zone is obtained when the steps are of uniform lengths and the irrigation is set to be the same by each step, while a differentiated irrigation along the zone is obtainable when the control system includes a memory unit for storing selective irrigation requirements for the various steps or groups of steps.
