“…In our experiment, there was a significant second degree polynomial relationship between the seasonal crop evapotranspiration and cauliflower curd yields (Figure 3) and total irrigation water applied and cauliflower curd yields (Figure 4) in each experimental year. Similar results were also reported by Sarkar et al (2009) that higher amounts and frequencies of irrigation had reduced the curd yield of cauliflower.…”

“…The roots of cauliflower, like other vegetable plants, need free oxygen in order to breathe and to take up water (Anonymous, 1994). Therefore, this reduction may explained by poor soil aeration resulting from excessive irrigation and/or increased water percolation and leaching of nitrate and other mobile plant nutrients into the deeper soil horizons by excessive irrigation (Diez et al, 1997;Sarkar et al, 2009). Irrigation treatments had not clearly influenced number of leaves as N treatments in our study.…”

“…Experts (Molden et al ., ; Zwart et al ., ) argue that increasing water productivity is an often cited solution, although current levels of water productivity are not systematically mapped. Some case studies have examined the water productivity of vegetables, including onions and tomatoes in Ghana (Mdemu et al ., ); cabbage, tomatoes and buttternuts in South Africa (Yokwe, ); tomatoes in South Africa (Karlberg et al ., ) and Thailand (Harmanto et al ., ); cauliflower in the lower Gangetic Plains of India (Sarkar et al ., , ); cucumber in Tanzania (Pachpute, ); 6 vegetables in Botswana (Imtiyaz et al ., ); and 11 vegetables in Turkey (Bozoglu and Ceyhan, ).…”

Improving water productivity can make a sterling contribution to global food production and poverty alleviation. Groundwater has always been a critical resource for agriculture. Scientific understanding of water productivity can help address water scarcity concerns through more productive use of scarce water resources and higher socio‐economic benefits from available water. This study examined the water productivity in the Al Batinah region of Oman using farm‐level data. In total 124 crops grown during the 4 years 2005–2008 were examined. Field studies were carried out for 4 years (2005–2008) on 18 field plots to examine yield, inputs, irrigation, costs and economic return of sweet melon, sweet pepper, cabbage and tomatoes grown under drip irrigation vs Rhodes grass grown under sprinkler irrigation using groundwater. The aim was to identify suitable combinations of vegetable crops grown under drip irrigation that can maximize the profitability of the farmers by optimizing water productivity. Results from the 4‐year data show that tomato and cabbage performed better than sweet pepper or melon as far as water productivity was concerned, while the drip irrigation method had shown better performance than sprinkler irrigation. Average crop water productivity was estimated at 7.8 and 11.9 kg m‾3 for the cabbage and tomato crops, respectively. The cabbage crop also gave the highest gross return of RO105 for each riyal Omani (RO 1.00 = US$2.59 in June, 2005) of investment in irrigation water. It has also been analysed that the drip irrigation system performed better in terms of crop water productivity and economic water productivity per cubic metre of water applied. So the research results represent decision‐making options of vegetable growers at farm scale but also offer important insights for the adoption of the drip irrigation system as well as the design of water policy incentives for irrigation modernization in Oman and other water‐scarce regions.

“…Irrigation management sets the time for irrigation and the amount of water based on culture demand, in order to get an efficient irrigation water management. It is essential to know the water needs of the culture in its different phenological phases, which are given by the evapotranspiration potential and water response functions (Sarkar et al, 2009;Souza et al, 2011a, b;Yavuz et al, 2015). Overall, vegetables are extremely dependent on appropriate water input, in all development phases, for biomass production at acceptable amounts and quality.…”

“…Cauliflower is sensitive to water deficit (Kochler et al, 2007;May et al, 2007;Tomassoni et al, 2013;Pereira et al, 2016). Its yield-response is influenced by irrigation amount and frequency, water application method, culture development stage, water physical and soil conditions, and micro-climatic conditions in the region (Sahin et al, 2009;Sarkar et al, 2009Sarkar et al, , 2010Oliveira, 2015;Seidel et al, 2017).…”

The aim of the present study is to assess the effects of different irrigation blades on the growth and yield of cauliflower cv. Verona CMS. The plants were cultivated in Red-yellow Latosol during the dry period (winter-spring 2014 and 2015), in the Cerrado-Amazon transition region, Middle-Northern of Mato Grasso State, Brazil. The reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was recorded through the Class A pan method by using tank coefficient of (Kp) 0.7795. We assessed the blades of 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120% evapotranspiration of the culture (ETc) by taking into account the cultivation coefficients (Kc) of 0.70 and 0.95 in the vegetative and reproductive phases. With regard to the morphometric variables of the plants (height, stem diameter and number of leaves) there were no significant interactions between assessment time (days after planting) and irrigation blades throughout the crop years. The hydric response functions presented higher yield at repositions from 80% to 100% of ETc. Variations in the irrigation blade did not influence the thermal demands for the inflorescence differentiation period or the inflorescence shape. Increased irrigated blade reduced water use efficiency: 7.4 and 12.4 kg of fresh mass per m³ of irrigated water.
