“…Application efficiency (70–90%) was recorded for maize under surface drip irrigation, where losses are very minimal (Ashraf, 2012). Similar results on the enhancement of efficiency have also beenreported by several researchers (Bibe et al, 2017; Fan et al, 2017; Hassanli et al, 2009; Kadasiddappa & Rao, 2018; Qin et al, 2016; Tian et al, 2017; Valentín et al, 2020; Wang, Li, et al, 2021; Wang, Xiao, et al, 2021). There was a WP enhancement of 47% and water saving of 22% with 96% irrigation efficiency by using perforated pipes compared to the conventional method (Nasir et al, 2014).…”

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the third most important cereal crop produced globally after wheat and rice and provides the basic raw materials for starch, oil, protein, alcoholic beverages, food sweeteners and fuel. It is grown on an area of 201.98 Mha worldwide, with an average productivity of 5.75 t ha−1. Maize is mostly grown during the rainy season, but it performs better during the winter season with irrigation and resource conservation techniques. The average productivity of maize during the rainy and winter seasons is 4.3 and 6.2 t ha−1, respectively. The total production is as low as 2.7 Mt in Nepal to 362.78 Mt in the USA. Maize performs better under the furrow and drip irrigation methods, and the range of water requirements is between 425–789 and 351–685 mm, respectively. Plastic and straw mulching has enhanced irrigation water use efficiency up to 34.0–47.2 and 15.3–24.1 kg ha−1 mm−1, respectively. The crop coefficients, Kc values, for maize crops ranges between 0.2 and 1.2. Of the different methods of irrigation, the drip irrigation method enhances the maize yield by 28% and plays a great role in corn yield. This paper discusses various strategies for enhancing global maize yield.

“…The use of sprinkler irrigation for fertigation allows for a decrease of production cost and leads to a better productivity of corn yield. Similar results regarding the effect of the fertigation rate on corn yield were obtained in several case studies [6,8,25]. The results of three nitrogen levels (120, 180 and 240 kg/ha) indicated that the interaction of nitrogen and irrigation has no significant effects on maize height.…”

A high efficiency of fertigation was established after three years of research at an ordinary chernozem on the production of corn hybrid DКС 4351 instead of traditional mineral fertilizing methods. Nitrates are washed out of the root layer after spreading urea on the soil surface before the cultivation in the spring. The nitrate content in the soil in the last two phases was 16-26% higher than in the 5-6 leaf phase after applying the KAC -32 solution with a sprayer on the soil surface.The mass of 1000 grains was the highest after several times urea application in dose N200 depending on irrigation rate. The maximum yield of corn grain was obtained by applying urea with rate N200 and КАС -32 with irrigation water during corn vegetation period. There is a tendency to increase the protein in corn grain during fertigation with urea and КАС -32. The data obtained show that the combination of irrigation with mineral fertilizer application is an effective way to save energy and material resources, increase the yield and grain quality.

Maize crop requires number of macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients for its growth and development. Nitrogen is one of the key nutrients needed for crop production; however, it is the most mobile and volatile and mainly exhausted nutrients due to its ability to exist in unusual forms and its easy leach ability. Lack of knowledge among the maize growers about the consequences of irrational use of water and nitrogen is mainly responsible for low water use efficiency and nitrogen use efficiency at field level. A field experiment was conducted during kharif, 2018 and rabi, 2019 under maize crop at the field irrigation laboratory, Department of Soil and Water Engineering, Dr. N. T. R. College of Agricultural Engineering, Bapatla, Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh State, India. The rainfall received during crop growing period of kharif 2018 was 303.4 mm and 69.1 mm during rabi, 2018-19. The initial soil physical and chemical properties of the experiment site were calculated. The inline drip irrigation system was designed in split pot for the experiment with three irrigation levels (main plots) namely I 1 = 0.6 of the crop evapotranspiration, I 2 = 0.8 of the crop evapotranspiration and I 3 =1.0 of the crop evapotranspiration and four nitrogen levels ( sub plots) namely N 1 = Drip fertigation with 80% of recommended dose of nitrogen (CF), N 2 = Drip fertigation with 100% of recommended dose of nitrogen (CF), N 3 = Drip fertigation with 120% of recommended dose of nitrogen (CF) and N 4 = No drip fertigation (manual application) with 100% of recommended dose of nitrogen (CF) with three replications. The amount of crop water requirement of maize was estimated with computer software CROPWAT (v 8.0). The dry matter production (DMP) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUF) of maize were estimated for both the seasons. The results shown that during kharif 2018 the highest value of DMP was found in I 3 treatment (399.22 kg ha -1 ) followed by I 2 and I 1 treatments (392.93 and 381.90 kg ha -1 ). During rabi 2018-19, the value of DMP was found in I 3 treatment (574.62 kg ha -1 ) followed by I 2 and I 1 treatments (565.29 and 446.38 kg ha -1 ). The highest NUE of 32.88 kg ha -1 mm -1 was obtained in I 2 N 1 treatment during kharif 2018. During rabi 2018-19, the highest NUE of 32.85 kg ha -1 mm -1 was in I 2 N 2 . The lowest NUE of 21.35 and 22.36 kg ha -1 mm -1 was obtained in I 1 N 3 treatment during kharif 2018 and rabi 2018-19.
