Performance test of emitters made from sago midribs in drip irrigation systems

Abstract Increasing water use efficiency can be done by using the right irrigation system according to needs of plants. One option for efficient supply is a drip system. The research aims obtain conditions with high uniformity values. study was conducted testing level at several source head pressures three replications. indicator based on coefficient variance. test results show that value higher lower than heads. indicated friction pressure end and middle section better pressure. samples heads 19 cm, 62 113 cm were 44.92, 23.40, 9.16, respectively, while 30 66 115 46.39, 14.43 10.36, respectively. These values indicate relationship between variation inversely proportional. low means distribution evenly distributed. So it said sago midrib material feasible as an emitter. In addition, resulting discharge small, so qualifies
