Centre Pivot systems are steadily replacing, traditional flood irrigation and other types of sprinklers, & also subsurface drip irrigation in some instances.

From establishment to harvest, effective water management is important at each stage of wheat growth. At TEAM Irrigation, we take into account many factors when designing irrigation systems to meet your specific needs, such as local microclimate, soil type and elevation.
For most varieties, and particularly for the high producing varieties, early irrigation can produce good yields when soils are deep and have an adequate water holding capacity and sufficient amount of stored soil water. Water deficit during yield formation period results in reduced grain weight and shrivelling of grain due to hot, dry, strong winds.
Stage 1. Emergence. 10 to 15 days.
Adequate moisture at seeding encourages germination and root development for healthy, uniform stands.
Stage 2. Vegetative Growth. 45 to 50 days.
Slight water stress during vegetative growth may have little impact on yield but may accelerate plant maturation.
Stage 3. Flowering. 15 to 20 days.
Yield loss from water stress during flowering cannot be recovered by adequate water late in the growing season.
Stage 4. Yield Formation. 30 to 35 days.
Water stress during yield formation reduces both grain weight and quality.
Stage 5. Ripening. 10 to 15 days.
Excess water during ripening and dry down can induce lodging and yield loss.
