A point under any traditional drop spray pattern will be watered by five or more different sprinklers. All sprinkler manufacturers recommend a 150 to 200 percent overlap for optimal uniformity. The impact to the ground from five or more sprinklers increases application intensity and can lead to soil sealing or crusting. Boombacks can reduce the application intensity significantly by spreading out the sprinklers. One large operation wanted to germinate carrots seeds with a pivot. The application rate required was too high for the ground to absorb—especially at the end of the pivot. The grower installed Boombacks on every outlet in opposing directions on the last third of one of his pivots. Over a three-year period, the solution was so effective, he installed several more pivots with Boombacks. After the first three years, an interview with the grower revealed valuable results. "We have compiled data on all the different ways of irrigating: pivots, pivots with Boombacks, hand lines, wheel lines, drip and flood," the grower said. "We determined using pivots with Boombacks is more than a solution for carrot germination. We are now putting the water into the ground more efficiently and reaping the benefits. "The 33 percent water savings is coming from the eliminated runoff. We are now achieving deeper root penetration. All the listed benefits are generated by a more efficient use of water. When compared head-to-head, pivots with Boombacks are by far the most economical way to irrigate."
