LEPA (Low Energy Precision Application) technology brought key benefits to pivot irrigation in the mid-1980s, when center pivot irrigators primarily used top-of-pipe impact sprinklers operating at high pressures. Researchers from Texas A&M University, in cooperation with Senninger Irrigation, developed the first LEPA bubbler in the western high plains of the United States, where high energy […] More
