Greenhouse Irrigation
• Woodburn Area nurseries use 4 basic types of greenhouse irrigation systems– Solid-set Sprinklers– Overhead Spray Emitters– Mist Systems– Boom Spray
![Page 3: Greenhouse & Nursery Irrigation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082215/568163fe550346895dd59a86/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Greenhouse Irrigation• Solid-set Sprinklers– Used for large volumes
of water– Suitable for established
plants that can tolerate overhead watering with large droplets

Greenhouse Irrigation• Solid-set Sprinklers– Primarily used for
containerized plants 4” and larger
– Plants with large leaves or canopies can block water

Greenhouse Irrigation• Microspray Emitters– Great for sensitive plants– Allows for precise
watering
![Page 6: Greenhouse & Nursery Irrigation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082215/568163fe550346895dd59a86/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Greenhouse Irrigation• Microspray Emitters– Efficient & accurate– Reduces waste – Minimizes weed
germination

Greenhouse Irrigation
• Mist Systems– Used mostly for cutting
& seed propagation– High humidity– Frequent, short
waterings
![Page 8: Greenhouse & Nursery Irrigation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082215/568163fe550346895dd59a86/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Greenhouse Irrigation
• Boom Spray Systems– Large
volumes of gentle spray
– Precise delivery
– Often used on cuttings and annual production

Greenhouse Irrigation
• Controllers– Allow growers to
schedule irrigation– New technology ties
controllers to computers and smartphones

Greenhouse & Nursery Irrigation
• Most groundwater needs amending before being used for irrigation– Sand filters take out salts
and other particulates– Fertilizer injectors allow
for even dosing with irrigation

Nursery Irrigation
• Most is done by overhead impact sprinklers
• Some microspray is used on sensitive plants or large-canopied trees

Nursery Irrigation
• Large holding ponds are created to reduce the demand on groundwater

Nursery & Greenhouse Irrigation
• Many similarities in equipment exist
• However, both are managed quite differently based on the needs of the plants & industry
