spray heads - ANSWERwhat has the highest precipitation rate
triangular head spacing - ANSWERwhich head spacing would provide the highest precipitation rate
for any given property
exceeds the infiltration rate in most tight soils - ANSWERprecipitation rates from most spray heads
exceed the infiltration rate of most tight soils or loose rocky soil
clay - ANSWERwhich soil type would hold the most water loose rock, loam, sand, or clay
all of these - ANSWERwhich of the following would affect the precipitation rate of a rotary head
erratic head spacing, nozzle size, or head pressure?

180) the precipitation_________.
remains the same - ANSWERwith most rotary heads if you adjust the arc down the discharge
rate_________.
false - ANSWERtrue or false. rotary heads precipitate water more rapidly than any other types of
heads.
to apply water equal or slightly below infiltration rate of the soil - ANSWERhow should irrigation
heads be selected
a shallow root system - ANSWERfrequent watering will result in
drip - ANSWERwhich type of system ( heads..) is not ideal for dissolving surface fertilizer?
