Influence of Drip Irrigation Management on Sugar Beet Yield and Some Water Relations at North Nile Delta

Abstract

and 30° 56' E longitude) during the two successive growing seasons of 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 to study the overall effect of drip irrigation management on sugar beet productivity, its components and some water relations in clay soil in North Nile Delta. The treatments were arranged in a split plot design with four replicates. The main plots were assigned to three types emitters of drip irrigation system namely: built-in, simple orifice and long-path. Three irrigation regimes i.e. 10 minutes daily, 20 minutes every two days and 30 minutes every three days were allocated in the sub plots. The main results in this study can be summarized in the following points: 1-The drip irrigation with long-path emitters (Turbo) had been achieved the highest average values
