Micro Irrigation System Market Ken Research

Sprinkler irrigation technology has been widely
adopted to cultivate field crops in large
plantation as they have greatly reduced water
usage per acre of land and lowered labor and
fertigation costs. It is best suited for most
field crops that are grown closely together such
as cereals, pulses and grains. Field crops
accounted for the largest market share in terms
of application of micro irrigation systems in
various crop types in the US.

Drip irrigation systems have witnessed limited
adoption in large fields and field crops due to
its higher installation cost and inability to
efficiently water field crops which are grown in
very less spacing between individual plants.
However, the system has been adopted by the
farmers to irrigate small fields especially in
farms growing oilseeds such as sunflower, oil
palm and others. High initial capital investment
in installing a micro irrigation system has been
a major resistance in the growth of micro
irrigation industry in the US. The federal
government assisted a large number of agriculture
producers with better irrigation practices
including micro irrigation by providing them
financial assistance, and technical assistance.

The micro irrigation industry in the US grew
rapidly during 2010-2015 owing to superior
efficiency of the systems in water usage and crop
yields, easy implementation of fertigation and
chemigation, lesser labor requirements and
minimized fertilizer / nutrient loss. Several
beneficial attributes of micro irrigation systems
coupled with water scarcity and drought
situations in many states are likely to catalyze
the growth of the micro irrigation industry in
the near future. Sprinkler irrigation systems
have had a dominant market share as compared to
drip irrigation systems in the US and are
expected to continue to account for a larger
market share in the forecasted period between
2016 and 2020 as well. This is primarily due to
the potential of sprinkler systems to effectively
irrigate large farmlands in the country.
