Center pivot sprinkler(sometimes called central pivot irrigation), also called electric circular sprinkler, pointer type sprinkler etc., is a method of crop irrigation in which equipment rotates around a pivot and crops are watered with sprinklers. Center-pivot irrigation systems are beneficial due to their ability to efficiently use water and optimize a farm's yield. The systems are highly effective on large land fields.
Suitable crops: alfalfa, corn, wheat, potato, sugar beet, cereals and other cash crops.
The center supporting shaft end of the sprinkler is fixed, and the rest of the sprinkler moves around the fixed end driven by the motor. Through the interface at the end of the Central Branch shaft, water is pumped up from the river or well and sent to the water pipe on the sprinkler truss, and then sent to the field through the sprinkler to realize automatic irrigation.
A circular area centered on the pivot is irrigated, often creating a circular pattern in crops when viewed from above.
Center-pivot irrigation uses less labor than many other surface irrigation methods, such as furrow irrigation.
It also has lower labor costs than ground-irrigation techniques that require digging of channels.
Also, center-pivot irrigation can reduce the amount of soil tillage.
It helps reduce water runoff and soil erosion that can occur with ground irrigation.
Less tillage also encourages more organic materials and crop residue to decompose back into the soil. It also reduces soil compaction.
Center pivots are typically less than 500 meters (1,600 ft) in length (circle radius) with the most common size being the standard 400-meter (1⁄4 mi) machine, which covers about 50 hectares (125 acres) of land.

Instantaneous irrigation intensity is an important factor to consider when designing sprinkler heads and is related to the permeability of the soil. General nozzle design to achieve both the crop's water requirements and less than the maximum infiltration of soil water to avoid waste of water and fertilizer runoff. The instantaneous irrigation intensity of the smaller sprinkler for the soil and crop applicability is stronger.
