The solid sets operation is simple: the plot is divided into a grid at the start of the campaign using 0.50 pipes. The pipes are made of aluminium or polyethylene depending on use. The most common layouts are 18 x 24 or 18 x 18 in windy zones. Each position has a sprinkler, with 23 sprinklers per hectare.
For semi-solid sets, the lateral moves are fixed and put in place at the start of the irrigation season. The rods and the sprinklers are moved in rows or groups. The valve T
provides a perfect seal when the rod is removed.
For solid sets, the lateral moves and rods are in place throughout the irrigation season. The lines operate alternately, controlled by small valves at the end of each lateral move.
Solid set is a particularly simple and effective surface irrigation system. Using fixed spray irrigation, the water is projected into the air and falls gradually to the soil, spraying a circle around the sprinkler. While less suited for fragile crops, full cover remains the most commonly used surface irrigation system and is much more effective than traditional gravity irrigation.

IRRIFRANCE full cover provides low hourly rainfall to prevent the soil from becoming compacted, erosion and run-off. You are then choosing high quality irrigation on all types of soil.
Whether your farming surface is large or small and regardless of its shape (triangular, square, rectangular), solid sets divides your plot into a grid thanks to the sprinkler positioning. The most common layouts are 18 x 24 or 18 x 18 in windy zones. Each position has a sprinkler, with 23 sprinklers per hectare.
Solid sets are ideally suited to semi-automatic (change of position at night, for example) or automatic (line by line or block by block) operating solutions.
The lateral moves are started up and shut down in series every 6 to 8 hours to provide an average of 20 to 25.
