Effects of Field Irrigation Method on The Peanut Crop

Noran Mohamed Abdel Latif, Y. Abdelmonem

Abstract


Most of the water resources around the world are consumed in irrigation. Irrigation water lost in field water application depends mainly on the field irrigation method. This study aims to investigate the effects of irrigation methods on the agriculture and irrigation processes of the peanut crop. In a field experiment, the area was divided into four different zones where peanut was irrigated using four different irrigation methods: drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, mini sprinkler irrigation, and strip surface irrigation during the agricultural season of the year 2009. Results showed that the percentage increase in the crop productivity per unit area of the drip irrigation method, the sprinkler irrigation method, and the mini sprinkler irrigation method compared to the strip surface irrigation method were 22.57, 13.66, and 6.54%, respectively. The irrigation efficiencies for the four irrigation methods were 96, 84, 77, and 54%, respectively. The values of the percentage water saving compared to the strip surface irrigation were 43.75%, 38.29%, and 31.68% for drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and mini sprinkler irrigation, respectively.
