The technical case study describes the efficiency of irrigation water delivery through drippers and micro sprinklers on citrus

Summary
A case study in Kirkwood, South Africa, assessed water delivery efficiency in 40 citrus orchards using drip micro irrigation systems, finding that 76% of emitters were either under- or over-delivering water. This variability caused crop uniformity issues and complicated water and fertilizer scheduling, highlighting the necessity for better maintenance practices to improve irrigation efficiency.
