Surface irrigation is the dominant method of on-farm irrigation in Egypt as well as world wide. Furrow watering is considered as one of the main types of surface irrigation. Most of the cultivated crops are grown under such type of watering. The principal advantage of furrow irrigation is the less irrigated area comparing with that under basin irrigation which equaled total cultivated acreage. ...

Furrow irrigation systems have a greater application capacity, are less costly, and use less energy than sprinkler systems but furrow irrigation produces greater runoff, erosion, and deep percolation losses. Phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) losses are associated with runoff sediment, and can be minimized by eliminating irrigationinduced erosion. Excessive leaching of inorganic and organic solute...

in arid, semiarid, and mediterranean climates, particularly in west asia and north africa, farmers face limited water resources and must develop irrigation management methods to increase crop production while reducing water use. this study examined methods to reduce irrigation water loss and increase maize water productivity at safiabad agricultural research center in dezful, iran in 2007 and 2...

Furrow irrigations dominate row-crop irrigation scenarios in many regions worldwide. In this study, corn (Zea mays L.) yield and evapotranspiration (ET) an all-furrow (FI) were compared against applied through alternate furrows (SFI, skip-furrow irrigation) rainfed (RF) systems on farm-scale fields 2017 2019 {corn phases of a soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]–corn rotation} clay soil the Lower M...

Skip furrow irrigation (SFI) can save water by irrigating every alternate furrow. Usually, irrigated furrows are alternated at each event under SFI. If fixed (permanent SFI, PSFI), more may be saved reducing the wetting area, and salts accumulate on dry side of ridge. Salt removal sheet, a method collecting sheet laid soil surface utilizing high evaporation demand in drylands, an efficient meas...

The pressure on water resources is due to different factors that affect agricultural development for food security. Large lands are not irrigated because of limited and poor irrigation management. This results in crop productivity. Therefore, this paper focused finding alternative techniques management solve the problems productivity diverse species. Although there options saving managing impro...
