Irrigation Solutions for Sugarcane Producers

 

Successful sugarcane irrigation plays a vital role in boosting both yield and sucrose content, particularly during the vegetative and yield formation stages. Across the world’s top sugarcane-producing regions—including Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala, and parts of the Eastern Hemisphere—producers rely on Senninger® sprinklers to achieve consistent cane yield, extend ratoon life, and manage water more effectively.

The ideal sugarcane irrigation system depends on several factors, including climatic conditions, water quality, planting density, and economic considerations. Whether your operation requires solid set irrigation or center pivot irrigation on drops or top-of-pipe, Hunter® Agricultural Irrigation offers efficient, durable solutions that support long-term crop productivity.

 

i-Wob®2: Maximum Uniformity for Pivot Systems

 

i-Wob®2

The i-Wob®2 delivers industry-leading uniformity in sprinkler irrigation for sugarcane. Its gentle, rain-like application matches soil infiltration rates and minimizes erosion, making it a high-performance choice for center pivot applications.

 

Xcel-Wobbler™ TOP: Efficient Top-of-Pipe Irrigation

 

Xcel-Wobbler™ TOP

The Xcel-Wobbler™ TOP brings Wobbler® technology to top-of-pipe installations, delivering large, wind-resistant droplets across a wide area at just 10 psi. This sprinkler is economical and highly efficient, ideal for sugarcane irrigation systems that demand durability and water conservation.

 

Xcel-Wobbler™: Uniform Application for Germination and Fertigation

 

Xcel-Wobbler™

For applications such as germination, fertigation, salt leaching, and frost protection, the Xcel-Wobbler™ provides excellent irrigation efficiency and uniform coverage. Its low-pressure operation and rain-like droplet pattern ensure water penetrates the soil effectively without compaction or runoff.

 

70 Series Impact Sprinklers: High-Performance at Higher Flows

 

70 Series Sprinkler

The 70 Series full-circle impact sprinklers are engineered for larger sugarcane fields, offering high-flow water distribution over wide diameters. With a cost-effective, long-lasting design, these sprinklers outperform brass alternatives and are available in both single and double nozzle models with range or spreader drive options.

 

80 Series Impact Sprinklers: Maximum Efficiency for High Flow Rates

 

80 Series Sprinkler

The 80 Series impact sprinklers are built for high-flow operations, delivering between 25.2 to 103.2 gpm (5724 to 23439 L/hr). Designed to be more affordable and longer-lasting than brass, the 80 Series is ideal for producers seeking reliable irrigation for sugarcane with fewer maintenance concerns.

 
 

Control Your Pressure


Every system experiences pressure fluctuations, resulting in unwanted flow deviations and over and under-watering. Regulators maintain a constant preset outlet pressure with varying inlet pressures, which alleviates pressure differences that can cause an applicator’s area of coverage to change.

Senninger® black and white pressure regulators are renowned for their accuracy, durability, and ability to maintain the overall efficiency of an irrigation system.

Guatemala

This field is producing approximately 125 metric tons of sugarcane and the producers think it is entirely due upgrading their sprinkler heads. The Xcel-Wobblers have been in this field for nearly five years and helps produce approximately 125 metric tons of sugarcane for harvesting with 90% distribution uniformity.

"You can tell by the even growth on the cane that it works very well. I'm really happy with the delivery as well. I mean, with floppies you have two millimeters that you get in an hour, with this one you get 4.6. Last year on this field I did 116 tons. Last year I had done 85, so that's a huge difference.” - Clodia Sihlangu
