drip irrigation is the most efficient technique known for improving irrigation water management. a two-year study was conducted to determine the effects of drip and furrow irrigation methods on yield and quality of sugar beet in north of khuzestan. in the first year, the experimental design was a completely randomized block design with three replications. treatments were, three drip irrigation ...

the current study was carried out with the aim of evaluating the effects of pressurized and furrow irrigation methods on the distribution of salinity and moisture in the soil profile. the experimental study design was a split plot layout with three irrigation method including furrow, surface drip (sd) and subsurface drip irrigation (ssd) using two water qualities, municipal effluent (0.509 ds/m...

the manning roughness coefficient is an important parameter in the design and evaluation of furrow irrigation. despite its importance, estimation of this parameter for surface irrigation is very difficult, particularly in furrow irrigation. in this study, an evalue model was used to estimate the manning roughness coefficient in furrow irrigation. the model was based on volume balance and develo...

Assessment of soil erosion and sediment yield in furrow irrigation is limited in Samaru-Zaria. Data was collected in 2009 and 2010 and was used to develop a dimensionless model for predicting furrow irrigation-induced erosion (FIIE) using the dimensional analyses approach considering stream size, furrow length, furrow width, soil infiltration rate, hydraulic shear stress, soil erodibility, and ...

Nonflooded irrigation is an important water-saving rice cultivation technology, but little is known on its photosynthetic mechanism. The aims of this work were to investigate photosynthetic characteristics of rice during grain filling stage under three nonflooded irrigation treatments: furrow irrigation with plastic mulching (FIM), furrow irrigation with nonmulching (FIN), and drip irrigation w...

in order to study the effects of different irrigation system and different amounts of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and quality of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted at ekbatan research station, hamedan during 2005-2006 as split plot based on randomized complete block design  with three replications. the main plots were irrigation systems (furrow, sprinkler and drip irrigation) and subplots...

this study was conducted to evaluate the current management of furrow and border irrigation systems in the dez irrigation network. of the eight farms studied, three grew wheat and one each grew corn, sugar beets, lettuce, sesame and mung beans. the study found water application efficiency in the five farms with furrow irrigation systems to be 25.8% and for the three farms with border irrigation...

due to the scarcity of water resources, the need for sustainable development of drip irrigation tape is essential in iran. a number of drip irrigation tape systems used in sugar beet fields of isfahan and chahar mahal va bakhtiari provinces were evaluated and were compared with furrow irrigation methods in two consecutive years. the actual water use efficiency (wuesy, wuewsy) in lower quarter, ...
