A sprinkler nozzle is configured for a sprinkler positioned at a distal end of a center pivot irrigation system. The sprinkler nozzle includes a connection part securable to the sprinkler, and a nozzle opening downstream of the connection part. A nozzle opening downstream of the connection part is part-toroidal shaped and partially blocked or skewed to control water flow to portions of the deflector plate according to a desired wetted area. The part-toroidal shape spans an arc less than 360 degrees. The nozzle enables a custom designed water application to complement the other sprinklers that are on the pivot and can be shaped to also apply water a distance beyond the end of the pivot pipe to match the application rate of the sprinklers along the pivot pipe.
A sprinkler nozzle for a sprinkler positioned at a distal end of a center pivot irrigation system, the center pivot irrigation system including a pivot pipe rotatably coupled with a center pivot and a plurality of sprinklers mounted along the pivot pipe, the sprinkler nozzle being cooperable with a deflector plate of the sprinkler and comprising:
