Abstract
The invention relates to an irrigation system particularly for plant cultures comprising an irrigation arm which can be pivoted in a horizontal angle region around an essentially vertical axis, a water jet exiting from the front thereof. According to the invention, an electronic control device (10) controls the horizontal angle region (α) which is covered by the irrigation arm (6), the control device (10) contains an electronic memory (23), wherein the values of two or more horizontal angle regions can be digitally stored, and a programmable run-off control element (22) wherein a sequence of stored horizontal angle regions can be established. The stored horizontal angle regions can be established by means of a GPS receiver.
