“…Potato tuber yield was significantly enhanced under trickle irrigation compared with furrow irrigation because irrigation water and fertilizer were uniformly concentrated around plant roots. References [28] working on sugar beet and [4] working on squash with furrow and trickle irrigated reported similar results. In spring growing season, potato tuber yield reduction coefficients 1.82 (k 1 with r 2 = 0.935) in deficit and 0.611 (k 2 with r 2 = 0.805) in excessive irrigation conditions.…”

Potato growth, yield, and quality under improved irrigation methods and non-uniformity of their irrigation applications are important to enhance water management in arid regions. A field experiment was conducted in 2014 spring and fall growing seasons using potato (Solanum tuberosum) grown in northern Egypt at Shibin El Kom, Menofia, Egypt to evaluate potato response to furrow or trickle irrigation. A Randomized Split-Plot Design with irrigation method randomly distributed and non-uniformity of irrigation applications evaluated along either irrigation furrow or trickle lateral as dependent variables measured at the 3 rd , 13 th , 23 rd , 33 rd , 43 rd and 53 rd m along the 55 m irrigation line. Traditional (TF) and partial (PF) furrows as well as trickle point (TP) and line (TL) sources were used as irrigation methods. Each treatment was repeated three times. For a 33 rd m treatment, seasonal optimum water use by potato was 328, 234, 269 and 292 mm over 118 days in spring and 200, 164, 178 and 186 mm over 122 days in fall under TF, PF, TP and TL irrigation methods, respectively. Potato tuber yield and quality were significantly affected by growing season (S), irrigation method (I) and non-uniformity of irrigation application (U). Tuber yield, total soluble solid (TSS) and leaf area index (LAI) were significantly affected by I and U, and their interaction I * U; harvest index (HI) was not affected by I but U. Except for TSS by S * I and HI by U * I and S * I, results showed no significant differences. Moreover, tuber weight, number and marketable yield were significantly affected by S, I, U and I * U interaction, except medium tuber size and culls by S. A given 33 rd treatment under partial furrow and trickle irrigation, relative to that of traditional furrow, enhanced tuber yield and improved quality in both growing seasons. In non-uniform irrigation application over two growing seasons, potato crop response was developed under varied irrigation methods. Tuber yields were significantly affected in a linear relationship (r 2 ≥ 0.75) by either water deficit or excessive water under irrigation methods.

“…Consequently water stress is a common cause of yield loss. Therefore alternative irrigation technologies and more efficient irrigation management should be developed to overcome the problems associated with water stress or over irrigation (Hassanli et al, 2010).…”

Mansuri et al.: Effect of deficit irrigation managment on qualitative and quantitative yield of sugar beet (Beta vulgarisLAbstract. Environmental pollution and food security resulting from agricultural input surpluses are of great concern to the world in recent year. Improving use efficiency of agricultural inputs becomes an important way to relieve above issues. Due to the long growing season of sugar beet, its response to deficit irrigation is very important. According to the objective, a field study was conducted to investigate the effects of conventional (control), fixed and alternate furrow irrigation on qualitative and quantitative yields of sugar beet was carried out in Karaj, Iran. The treatments were applied in two consecutive years (2013 and 2014) as randomized complete block design with three replications. The irrigation water applied in the control treatment was 1127 mm, while the fixed and alternate furrow irrigation reduced drainage by 44% and 50%, respectively. The root yield was obtained 79 t/ha under alternate furrow irrigation, and 16% higher compared to fixed furrow irrigation. Average water use efficiency (WUE) for sugar beet root production in conventional, fixed, and alternate furrow irrigation were achieved 7, 11, and 12 kg/m 3 , respectively. Moreover, the maximum water use efficiency for of pure sugar production (1.5 kg/m 3 of water used) was obtained in the alternate furrow irrigation treatment. So, it was 23 and 117% higher than fixed and conventional furrow irrigation treatments, respectively. α-amino nitrogen absorption in the alternate furrow irrigation treatment increased by 29% compared to other treatments, which suggest balanced fertilization management is needed in alternate furrow irrigation. Consequently, alternate furrow irrigation management with reduced drainage achieved maximum WUE.

“…Water use efficiency is commonly used as a synonym of WP (Steduto, 1996), but recently the term biomass WP was introduced to clearly refer to the physiological and ecophysiological processes of biomass production (Steduto et al, 2007). When referring to irrigation, it is preferable to assess WP relative to either total water use (TWU) or irrigation water use (IWU) when an assessment aims to evaluate the performance of a given irrigation system (Rodrigues & Pereira, 2009;Hassanli et al, 2010).…”

The main objective of this paper is to analyse the effects of sprinkler type and height above the ground on soil water uniformity (CUs) and sugar beet yield. Irrigation was performed with a centre pivot operating under field conditions with two types of sprinklers, one with a stationary plate (SPS) and the other with a moving plate (MPS), at two heights (1 and 2.5 m). The average coefficient of uniformity (CU) of water application of individual irrigation events with SPS ranged from 74 to 81%, compared to nearly 90% from MPS. The value of the cumulative coefficient of uniformity for the set of irrigation events (CUa) for all sprinkler-height combinations exceeded 90%, a value similar to that obtained for CU S . Results do not show a clear advantage in the final crop response by using sprinklers with MPS or SPS. However, MPS, and especially those located at 1 m in height with a spacing of 1.5 m, have higher water application uniformity, achieving higher yield and yield indexes, as well as higher water use efficiency. The final yield of sugar beet was more influenced by the amount of soil water available for the crop than the small differences in soil water uniformity obtained with the centre pivot.Additional key words: Beta vulgaris L.; fixed spray plate sprinklers; rotating spray plate sprinklers; soil water uniformity; water application uniformity. ResumenEfecto de dos tipos de aspersores y alturas en el riego de remolacha azucarera con un equipo pivot El objetivo principal de este trabajo es analizar el efecto del tipo de emisor y la altura sobre el suelo sobre la uniformidad de agua del suelo (CUs) y la producción de remolacha azucarera. El riego se realizó con un equipo pivot funcionando en condiciones de campo con dos tipos de aspersores, uno con una placa fija (SPS) y el otro con una placa giratoria (MPS), a dos alturas (1 y 2,5 m). La media del coeficiente de uniformidad de agua aplicada (CU) en los riegos individuales con SPS varió entre 74 a 81%, en comparación con casi el 90% con los MPS. El valor del coeficiente de uniformidad acumulado para el conjunto de riego (CUa) para todas las combinaciones de aspersor-altura fue superior al 90%, un valor similar al obtenido para la CUs. Los resultados no muestran una clara ventaja en la respuesta final del cultivo mediante el uso de aspersores con MPS o SPS. Sin embargo, los MPS, y especialmente los situados a 1 m de altura, colocados a un espaciamiento de 1,5 m, tienen una mayor uniformidad en la aplicación del agua, logrando un mayor rendimiento y sus correspondientes índices, así como una mayor eficiencia del uso del agua. El rendimiento final de la remolacha azucarera estuvo más influenciado por la cantidad de agua disponible del suelo para el cultivo que por las pequeñas diferencias en la uniformidad de agua del suelo obtenido con el equipo pivot.Palabras clave adicionales: aspersores con placa fija; aspersores con placa giratoria; Beta vulgaris L.; uniformidad de agua del suelo; uniformidad de aplicación del agua.
