“…It is obvious from the obtained data that the values of water distribution efficiency increased with increasing water discharge and decreased with increasing cut-off irrigation treatments during both seasons. These results are in the same agreement with those obtained by Mosalm (2009), Bochen et al 2013and Amer (2011).…”

“…Improvements in irrigation practices such as precision leveling, proper border length as well as appropriate flow rates lead to more uniform water distribution, soil and water conservation and economic viability of irrigated agriculture (EL-Mowelhi et al, (1999b, 1995a&b and 1999a, El-Arqan et al (2008), Bochen et al, (2013) and Qingfeng Miao et al (2015).Also, the following cut-off irrigation event, the water front moves to irrigate more cultivated areas. This Technique considered as a direct simple effective way in water saving, Kassab and Ibrahim ;( 2007) ; ( Zeng Guang Wei et al, (2009); Amer (2011) and Kassab (2012).…”

Two field experiments were conducted during the two consecutive growing seasons of 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 at Sakha Agriculture Research Station Farm, Kafr EL-sheikh governorate. The aim of study was to evaluate the effect of three irrigation discharge rates (2.5, 3.5 and 4 L.sec-1 m-1) and three cutoff irrigations (100%, 90% and 85% from border length), which were randomly arranged under each irrigation discharge on wheat yield and its components, some water relations, irrigation efficiencies and the contribution of ground water table. The results revealed that the combination of irrigation discharge 4 L sec-1 m-1 and cutoff irrigation at 85% of border length achieved the lowest values of seasonal applied water and water consumptive use and the highest values of following parameters ; crop water use efficiency (CWUE), Irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE), water consumptive use efficiency (Ecu, %), water application efficiency (EI, %), Grain and straw yields, NPuptake and crude protein and ground water contribution (Gwc, %). Moreover, it increased the amount and percentage of water saving 242.34 m3 fed-1 (about 9.60%), total income, net income, and net income per water unit for both wheat grain and biological yields. Also, the economic efficiency, during both seasons. On the other hand, the highest values of water distribution efficiency (Ewd, %) have resulted from the combination of irrigation discharge rates (4 or 3.5 L sec-1 m-1) and cutoff irrigation at 100% of border length. It could be concluded that the combination of irrigation discharge 4 L sec-1 m-1 and cutoff irrigation at 85% of border length was the most profitable for irrigated wheat crop, as well as, the benefit of contributing ground water table in saving some of water requirements for the crop, ground water table contribution of great importance as an additional source of irrigation water, especially under the prevailing conditions of water shortage in Egypt.

IELD study carried out at Sakha farm in the Governorate of Kafr EL-Sheikh, Egypt during two winter seasons, aimed to optimize the furrow irrigation design and management for canola crop in soils at North Nile Delta, and to assessment its effects on the water usage performance, productivity, and profitability of the crop. The study investigated the effects of different furrow design, cut-off irrigation, alternate furrow irrigation, with irrigation discharge 4 Lps m -1 , and biomineral fertilization treatments on the characteristics of infiltration, intake family, and selected irrigation characters, along with post-irrigation performance. Also, conducted an economic evaluation of the treatments. The findings demonstrated that in both seasons, the infiltration rate dropped down quickly at 4 hours as time passed, and that for both alternate furrow irrigation and distinct cut-off irrigation, the applied water distribution uniformity was greater than 0.9. When the intake family shrank from 0.35 to 0.33, the application efficiency rose and was deemed suitable for a 2 lps/m furrow influx rate. There was a difference between the designed and measured irrigation time, advance time, and recession time. The designed irrigation time/advance time ratio was also greater than the observed values. Although the design was deemed acceptable on clay soil, the ratio of inflow time to advance time for the design parameters was greater than 2. The cut-off at 85% of the furrow length produced the highest ratio. The maximum irrigation application efficiency values were found when the design and measured parameters were cut off at 85% of the furrow length. In terms of the economic analysis, the interaction between I3 and F3 produced the highest values of net return and benefit-cost ratio. Additionally, it was discovered that I3 and I4 in conjunction with F3 and F4 produced the lowest specific cost values.

“…Proper design of level irrigation systems (basin dimensions, number of furrows which can be irrigated, etc.) depends on the water supply flow rate, soil infiltration characteristics and other factors (Amer, 2011, EL-Hadidi et al, 2016and Salahu et al, 2018.…”

A FIELD study was conducted in clay soil at Sakha farm, Kafr EL-Sheikh governorate in 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 growing seasons. The objective of this work is to evaluate the effect of level border irrigation system using (100m length and 7m width and 0.1% slope) under different irrigation water discharge (2.5, 3.5 and 4 L sec-1 m-1) and cutoff irrigation (100, 90 and 85% of border length) on the infiltration characteristics, intake family and some irrigation parameters under post irrigation of wheat crop. The most important results include that, the irrigation at 4L/sec./m greatly affected the basic infiltration rate and cumulative infiltrated depth. Intake rates were decreased under water discharge and cutoff irrigation conditions in both seasons. The irrigation discharge at 4L/sec./m combined with cutoff at 85% of border length, the designed inflow time, deep percolation and runoff values were decreased, while water application efficiency was increased. The design ratio of inflow time to advance time is more than 2, meanwhile, the application time increased over the advance time, in this case the design is acceptable in clay soil. The measured irrigation stream was more than the design one, this caused increasing the amount of water applied. The design advance, recession and opportunity intake time were more than the measured one.It can be concluded that the design of border irrigation under different irrigation discharge and cutoff irrigation is reasonably efficient and values of different parameters fall within all the design limitations.
