The sprinkler system of irrigation is most suitable for

A. Clay soils

B. Undulated soils

C. Saline soils

D. Acidic soils

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Sprinkler irrigation is a method that mimics natural rainfall by spraying water through a system of pipes and sprinklers.

Undulated soils, or uneven terrains, pose challenges for traditional irrigation methods like surface irrigation due to irregular slopes and water flow issues.

Sprinkler systems are ideal for such conditions because they do not rely on gravity or level surfaces to distribute water evenly.

They allow for controlled water application and uniform coverage, making them highly suitable for undulated areas.

In contrast, clay soils have slow infiltration rates, saline soils need careful water management to avoid salt accumulation, and acidic soils are more about pH management than irrigation method.

    Sprinkler irrigation systems are most suitable for a variety of field conditions, particularly those with sandy or loamy soils, and undulating terrain where surface irrigation methods are difficult or inefficient. They are also well-suited for irrigating high-density crops and areas where water conservation is a priority.
    Right Option is: B
