Water plays a crucial role in better agricultural production. The situation of irrigation water in Pakistan is getting worse day by day. New sowing techniques for high-value agriculture are the only solution to increasing water and crop productivity. Drip irrigation coupled with mulch in tunnel farming can be an effective tool for better agricultural production. Therefore, this study was designed to check the impact of different mulch materials coupled with various irrigation schedules on cucumber yield and its root zone behavior. Three types of mulch, i.e., black, transparent, and wheat straw, each under two different levels of deficit irrigation (DI) of 20% DI and 40% DI, were compared with farmer practice as a control. The experiment was conducted at a farmer’s field and laid out under a randomized complete block design. The effect of treatments was checked on the number of leaves per plant, plant height, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight per plant, and crop yield. Moreover, the effect of treatments was checked on the crop root zone. The Hydrus-1D model was calibrated to successfully simulate soil moisture in the root zone. The study’s results revealed that among all treatments, the total yield of the cucumber was higher under 20% DI than 40%. The treatment T3 (transparent mulch + 20% DI) had a maximum yield of 47.31 tons/ha, whereas the minimum yield of 31.86 tons/ha was obtained under control. There was little difference between the yield of black plastic mulch and wheat straw mulch. Maximum root length was found in the case of black mulch with 20% DI (86.9 cm), and the maximum diameter of the root zone canopy was observed under wheat straw mulch. Hydrus-1D proved its ability and was recommended for simulating root zone moisture, with the lowest value of R2 = 0.894. It was concluded that cucumber production with 20% DI is viable for drip irrigation with mulch applications.

“…In our experiments, the DU values increased with the increasing water inflow rates, because increasing the inflow rate could lead to a decrease in the difference in soil moisture content along the furrow. Because the soil moisture content was higher in the horizontal direction than the vertical direction, the DU values of the alternative irrigation method were greater than the conventional irrigation method, as the moisture content in the vertical direction was subject to more water loss due to deep infiltration with the EFI method [48]. This indicates that the root system may partially compensate for the increasingly limited water availability on the non-irrigated side of alternative furrow irrigation due to increased water conductivity within the roots.…”

Water scarcity is a major constraint for food production, particularly in arid and semi-arid environments. In this regard, selecting the best irrigation technique is crucial to overcome water scarcity and enhance water productivity (WP) with no significant yield loss. This study aimed to assess the impact of irrigation techniques of every furrow irrigation (EFI), alternate furrow irrigation (AFI), and drip irrigation (DI), as well as the flow rate, on irrigation system performance parameters, yield, water productivity of cauliflower crop and soil salinity during the two successive growing seasons of 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 under field conditions. The treatments comprised three different irrigation inflow rates: Q1 = 0.47 L/s, Q2 = 0.95 L/s, and Q3 = 1.43 L/s. For both investigated seasons, the AFI + Q3 treatment produced the best water distribution uniformity (DU) and water application efficiency (AE) of 85.10% and 72.73%, respectively, of the surface irrigation, and DI methods across the two growing seasons produced the highest DU of 95%. DI produced the highest cauliflower curd yield (18.12 Mg/fed), followed by EFI + Q3 (12.285 Mg/fed) and AFI + Q3 (11.905 Mg/fed). The maximum mean WP value of 10.6 kg/m3 was recorded with DI, followed by AFI + Q3 (6.24 kg/m3), across the two growing seasons. DI, AFI + Q3, AFI + Q2, AFI + Q1, EFI + Q3, and EFI + Q2 saved irrigation water by 32.63, 28.71, 21.22, 18.04, 10.48, and 3.18%, respectively, compared with EFI + Q1 across the two growing seasons. During both seasons, the average value using the drip irrigation system was 3.60 dS/m. Considering the annual leaching requirements of soil, climate change conditions, and fixed costs, we recommend the use of a drip irrigation system in clayey soil to produce cauliflower, followed by the use of the alternative furrow irrigation method to enable the aeration of the same soil for a lower cost.
