Solution

The correct option is C It is best suitable for very light soil
Sprinkler Irritation Method
  • In this method, the irrigation water is applied to the land in the form of spray, somewhat as in ordinary rain through a network of pipes and pumps.
  • It can be used for all the crops except rice and jute and for almost all the soils except very heavy soils. (i.e. soil with very low infiltration rates).
  • Best Suited for Very Light Soils as deep percolation losses are avoided. (Light soils : These soil drain quickly after rain and watering).
  • It is used mainly by cultivators of tea, coffee and vegetables.
