This publication provides information about the electronic controls and communication equipment that have been developed to allow center pivots to deliver irrigation­ water based on spatial production levels, soil texture, fertility, or field topography. Though the focus of this publication is center pivot irrigation systems, some of the information also could apply to sprinkler irrigation systems that move in a straight line across the field.
