Corn growers using irrigation get almost 30% more yield than those who only rely on rainfall. Irrigation is critical during the reproductive growth stages (tasseling, silking, and pollination) when water stress can significantly impact yield potential.
Various Senninger sprinklers have proved beneficial for corn irrigation, helping farmers increase yields with more efficient water practices. They can provide adequate moisture to meet the crop ET demands based on planting date, maturity group, location, and weather. Wobbler sprinklers, LEPA bubblers, and spray nozzles developed by Senninger have also helped corn irrigators reduce their water usage and energy consumption.
i-Wob®2
The i-Wob®2 delivers the most uniform water distribution of any pivot applicator available today, making it an excellent choice for pivot irrigation for corn farming. Its protective shroud shields the sprinkler’s wear surface from grit, UV exposure, and splashing from adjacent sprinklers—ensuring longevity and consistent performance. Designed to last longer in the field, the i-Wob®2 combines a tough exterior with a gentle, rain-like application, promoting optimal moisture levels for healthy corn yield.
Xcel-Wobbler™ TOP
The Xcel-Wobbler™ TOP brings the proven Wobbler® technology to top-of-pipe applications, offering efficient irrigation for corn with its instantaneous, uniform distribution pattern. It produces large wind-resistant droplets that gently reach the soil, ensuring even coverage and optimal water management in cornfields. Operating at a low 10 psi, the Xcel-Wobbler™ is a cost-effective alternative to traditional corn field irrigation systems, helping farmers grow more corn while reducing energy costs.
LDN® LEPA
The LDN® LEPA (Low Energy Precision Application) bubblers ensure that 95% to 98% of the water pumped reaches the crop’s root zone, which is critical for reducing water consumption in maize farming. These sprinklers are installed 8 to 18 inches (20 to 46 cm) above the ground to minimize evaporation loss and wind drift, making them one of the best irrigation methods for corn production. By applying water directly where needed, they support optimal water needs for corn growth and contribute to higher yield.
LDN® Spray
The LDN® (Low Drift Nozzle) offers flexibility in corn crop irrigation requirements, allowing growers to control the sprinkler’s distribution pattern and trajectory. Its streamlined body is designed to handle the challenges of traveling through tall crops, ensuring even water distribution throughout various corn growth stages. As part of a mechanized irrigation system for corn, the LDN® provides reliable water delivery, promoting strong plant development and higher yields.
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.

"I found that with the LEPA bubbler system allowed us to apply the water we have available in a more productive way. The water that is being applied is resulting in less surface moisture and more beneficial subsoil moisture; this should be all producers goal.”

Ryan Leatch's pivot equipped with the i-Wob2 is now able to apply water at a rate of 18 mm a day using only 11 kW at the pump, which reduced his energy expenses to approximately AUD 3.19 per hour. With a uniformity co-efficiency of 98.4% he knows he is making the most out of every drop pumped.
