An important limitation in the use of sprinkler irrigation system is that 
soluble fertilizers and herbicides can not be applied with irrigation water
cannot be used on farmlands with high evapotranspiration rates
requires the use of large volume of water
high wind velocity could prevent uniform distribution of irrigation

Explanation

A major limitation in the use of sprinkler irrigation system is that high wind velocity could prevent uniform distribution of irrigation water while sprinkler irrigation does require a significant volume of water,this is not a limitation in areas with adequate water supply.
