Planning Your Application

You will benefit from having an accurate plan to follow before you set-up or operate
your equipment. When creating your plan, remember that a properly planned field
layout will cover the most area with the least amount of set-up time.
Step 1 - Field Preparation:
Determine the depth of application in inches.

Irrigating deeper than the root zone is considered over watering. The most
common depth for turf is between 0.2 – 0.3 inches (5 – 7.5 mm).

Step 2
Divide your field into the least number of sections to obtain complete
coverage.

First determine the area you plan to irrigate. If your field width is greater
than what can be achieved with one (1) pull you will be required to divide
the field into the least number of sections to reduce set-up time. Use your
sprinkler performance data tables to determine the coverage of your
Cadman Mini-Traveller. The sprinkler should be set-up so that the spray
diameter is covered plus sufficient overlap (beyond the edge of the crop) to
provide adequate watering at the edge of the field.
