In comparison to other irrigation systems, the center pivot is among the most efficient options to water your crop fields efficiently and effectively. Center pivots are the most dominant of both hand-moved and the large gun systems and are more efficient since they require less water. Center pivots feature drop nozzles that are placed close to the ground or even lower than the canopy level when crops are growing. 

The nozzles are designed to be able to stay clear of obstructions and the system does not require the complex filters that drip irrigation requires. This reduces the amount of water wasted since the water isn't exposed to winds. When it is set for operation at a particular speed and to deliver water in a specified quantity it will function completely. In most cases, the valley irrigation pivots systems are automated and only require one person to complete the job.

Center pivots gently apply water onto the field of crops and reduce the risk of surface runoff or puddling that are the most common drawbacks of hand-operated and big guns for sprinklers. In contrast to furrow systems, centers pivot irrigation systems don't cause too much soil erosion, and the water coverage within the system is organized. 

The majority of center pivot systems are designed to last approximately 20 years. They also provide the possibility of applying chemicals such as fertilizers and ripeners on the fields of the crop. Additionally, center pivots are cheaper than other irrigation methods. However, there are so many reasons to choose center pivots and some of them are described below.

• Adjustable
• Low Maintenance
• Efficient
• Affordable
• Gentle
