In addition, interesting agricultural practices used in each place, since cultural agriculture have an effect on flows, when there no specific study needs crop under study. Methods: order obtain data, surveys were conducted among irrigators area for be studied. However, data collection not a simple task, depending characteristics irrigation Irrigation plots always accounted individually, or has been done. observed that factors affect way farmers irrigate. Results: The banana plantations islands Gran Canaria Tenerife (Canary Islands) was determined field results revealed similar both islands; however, island showed lower terms irrigation. uniformity coefficient calculated but Canaria, so could supported by this aspect agronomic calculation efficiency. Conclusion: Knowledge Canary Islands' main crop, bananas, vital improve archipelago, where demander. series improvements within network, as well improvement sustainability practices, such introduction reclaimed islands, considered more efficient with region vulnerable climate change.
