Rain Gun


 My first formalised entrepreneurship career started in the name “M.V. Hitech Irrigation” when I become Dealer of SIME (Italian Brand) Rain Gun for Erode district. Specialty of this brand is, rotation of sprinkle is based on wheel based compared to competitors impact based rotation.
Nothing is as refreshing as Rain
Advantages of Rain Gun are,
  • Controls Humidity, Temperature
  • Cleans dust, insects settled on the plants
  • Nourishes the plants top
  • Encourages organic farming but increases weeds
  • Water droplets can be controlled to the extent of Mist
  • Structure is fixed and no roll-up required unlike Drip irrigation where tubes are rolled off during harvesting
Disadvantages are,
  • Wind will disturb the uniform coverage area
  • Fertigation will have distribution loss compared to Drip irrigation but better than flood irrigation
  • Area coverage is 1.5 times, where as Drip irrigation cover 2 times compared to flood irrigation.
