“…This suggests that greater precautions need to be taken when using low irrigation water quantity for the production in areas where water is a limiting factor. This is in line with the results obtained from [18] which reported that drip irrigation at lowest irrigation level with normal planting produced a significantly higher corn yield. This might be attributed to the existence of higher competition between the plants for water than the normal planting method.…”

ABSTRACT:Field experiments were carried out at the Agricultural Research and Production Station, NRC, ElNubaria district, Egypt during the winter season of 2012 and 2013 growing seasons in a sandy soil with Faba bean (Vica Faba L.G461) under automation controller drip irrigation system, to study the effect of water deficit (50, 75, and 100 % FC, field capacities) and compost tea additions (100 and 50 liter/fed) on faba bean yield, water and fertilizers use efficiency (WUE, FUE). The obtained results showed that the faba bean yield, WUE and FUE were superior by using compost tea (100 liters/fed and100 % FC) while the lowest values results were attained after using 50 liters/fed compost tea and 50 % FC. It could be concluded that the biggest added amount of compost tea 100 liters/fed impacted positively on Faba bean plants because they contain more amount of macro and micro nutrients and it helps save water under sandy soil conditions. Faba bean plants avoid the water stress under 100 % FC but adversely affected by water stress under FC (50 and 75%).

“…Liu et al (2000) reported on the relationship between water consumption, the amount of water applied and cotton yield. Sweet corn yield has been found to depend on how intense the drip irrigation was in different growth stages (Viswanatha et al 2002). Drip irrigation can continuously maintain soil moisture at a high level, but high soil water content results in high crop water consumption .…”

A field study for the arid northwest China has been conducted to find watersaving strategies of drip irrigation for dense-planted crops. The annual water consumption for optimal growth was 420 mm, of which soil evaporation was 27% and the foliage transpiration 73%. A relationship between soil water consumption and the irrigation amount, crop yield and water use efficiency were established. It was found that for high crop yield, it is important to maintain rather high soil water content during the two sensitive growth stages: elongation and milky filling stages. It is concluded that with drip irrigation higher yield was achieved although much less water was applied than what was used in block irrigation experiment.

“…Drip fertigation experiments carried out at Syria to study the effect of drip fertigation in cotton indicated saving of 35 per cent of irrigation water under drip fertigation system compared to surface method of irrigation (Janat and Somi, 2001). Drip irrigation at 0.8 Epan with normal planting recorded higher water use efficiency (WUE) of green cob and fodder with total water requirement of 330.5 mm for sweet corn (Viswanathan et al, 2002).…”

Food legumes are important source of protein in the diets of a large section of vegetarian population in the developing countries in general and India in particular. Even though India has the largest area under pulses in the world, the average productivity is relatively low and the production is not adequate to meet the demand. For increasing the productivity of the pulses key inputs viz., water, seeds and nutrients need to be applied in the right quantity to enhance the production. The water use efficiency is increased through micro irrigation in the form of drips and sprinklers. Drip irrigation can be considered as an efficient irrigation system since it causes wetting of the soil only and maintain optimum moisture content in the root zone. It also offers several water management advantages like timely application of water and water supply. Micro irrigation provides many unique agronomic, water and energy conservation benefits that address many of the challenges facing irrigated agriculture, now and in the future. .
