“…Plants grown with subsurface drip irrigation gave a lower total yield than those grown with surface drip irrigation because of the higher soil salinity due to the upward flow of water and salt accumulation in the root zone leading to a moderate plant stress especially with higher discharge rate, while with surface drip irrigation, the mentainance of highly leached root zone reduces the detrimental effects of salinity on growth and yield. Similar results on the effects of the two systems under saline condition (surface drip versus subsurface drip irrigation) were also obtained by Santamaria et al, (2003), who found that with drip irrigation the squash production was almost 20% higher than with subsurface irrigation as a result of the lower soil salinity. Moreover, Scholberg and Locascio (1999) observed that the total dry weight, total fruit yield, marketable fruit yield and average fruit weight of squash were higher with surface drip than with subsurface drip irrigation.…”

T HE PURPOSE of this experiment is to elaborate the mode of distribution of both moisture and salt under drip irrigation system which is widely regarded as the most promising system in combination with saline water under conditions of El-Sheikh Zewied area-North Sinai (Lithic Torripsamments) during the summer growing season (March -June) 2015. It is just a trial to suggest a suitable irrigation management to increase production of a vegetable crop (Squash, (cucurbita pepo). Two methods of drip irrigation system were applied, i.e., surface and sub-surface with three quantities of irrigation water, i.e., 80, 100 and 120% of evapotranspiration calculated by meteorological equation of Penman-Montieth. Two emitter's discharge rates, i.e., 2 and 4 liter/ hour were used to irrigate squash with saline water (4.5 dS/m). Split -split plot design statistically was applied.1-There is a remarkable decrease in soil moisture content apart from drippers horizontally and vertically. 2-Irrigation water applied as a reference evapotranspiration calculated by penman-Montieth showed that water requirement followed the order increasing as 120 %100 < % < 80 % under 4L/h dripper discharge rate. 3-Surface drip irrigation system cased more soil moisture content than subsurface one. 4-Dripper discharge rate 4L/h surpassed for soil moisture content which increased horizontally, while it increased vertically under 2L/h. 5-Salt concentration in soil increased apart from drippers by increasing irrigation water quantities and dripper discharge rates through growth periods. 6-Surface drip irrigation system help roots to be tolerable salt concentration by moving salts in the two up and down directions apart from roots. 7-Salt concentration significantly increased at 5% level growth season under surface and subsurface drip irrigation system as 90 < 60 < 30 < 1 days, respectively. 8-Biological yield decreased by using salt water under 2L/h dripper discharge and subsurface drip irrigation system, while the best water and salt distribution was conducted in the root zone under surface irrigation system and 100% of irrigation water applied. 9-The maximum squash yield , (significantly increase), was conducted to surface drip irrigation system by applying 100% quantity calculated by reference evapotranspiration approach as 7.59 and 7.4 ton/fed under 4 and 2 L/h dripper discharge rates, respectively. While the minimum yield, (4.4 ton/fed), was found by applying 80 % of water requirements under subsurface drip irrigation with 2L/h dripper discharge rate. 10-Water use efficiency significantly increased with 100% irrigation water requirements and 4L/h dripper discharge rate when applying surface drip irrigation system.

“…The results reported by Santamaría et al (2003); Scholberg and Locascio (1999) differ from those obtained in this research, reporting that with drip irrigation tomato production was greater than with subirrigation as a result of EC in subirrigation. Martinetti et al (2008) mention that se mantuvieron en niveles más cercano al óptimo que el resto de los tratamientos de subirrigación y riego superficial.…”

“…Incrocci et al (2006) reportaron que una alta CE en la parte superior del sustrato no causó estrés por salinidad en tomate sometido a subirrigación, argumentando que las raíces crecieron en su mayoría en los estratos inferiores del sustrato; los autores reportaron que no existen diferencias entre plantas tratadas con subirrigación y riego por goteo en términos de crecimiento de la planta, lo cual coincide con los resultados de nuestro estudio. Santamaría et al (2003); Scoggins (2005) mencionan que los sistemas de riego por goteo y subirrigación determinan una diferente estratificación de sales en el medio de cultivo, las cuales se concentran en la parte inferior con el primer método y en la parte superior con el segundo, y dependiendo de la especie, estos niveles pueden o no pueden plantear problemas. Los resultados del presente estudio no concuerdan totalmente con lo anterior ya que si bien si se detectó un aumento en la concentración de sales en el estrato superior del sustrato en plantas subirrigadas, este igualmente fue detectado en las plantas con riego por goteo; sin embargo, el impacto del riego superficial sobre la salinidad del sustrato si se detectó en los estratos centrales.…”

“…Esto puede deberse a que el pH y la CE de los estratos 0-7, 7-14 y 14-21 cm, así como otras propiedades químicas del mismo, in the upper part of the substrate caused no salinity stress in tomato under subirrigation, arguing that roots grew mostly in the lower strata of the substrate; the authors reported no differences between plants treated with subirrigation and drip irrigation in terms of plant growth, which coincides with the results of this study. Santamaría et al (2003); Scoggins (2005) mention that drip irrigation and subirrigation systems determine a different stratification of salts in the culture medium, which concentrate in the lower part with the first method and in the top with the second and depending on the species, these levels may or may not pose a problem. The results of this study do not fully agree with the above because although an increase was detected in salt concentration in the upper strata of the substrate in subirrigated plants, this also was detected in plants with drip irrigation; however, the impact of surface irrigation on salinity of the substrate if detected in the central stratas.…”

Martinetti et al (2008) mencionan que la diferencia en cuanto a rendimiento de los sistemas de subirrigación y riego por goteo se debe a que con subirrigación la CE se concentra en la parte superior, mientras que con riego por goteo la CE es menor y se distribuye de manera uniforme en todo el volumen del sustrato, lo cual fue confirmado en el presente estudio.…”

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar algunos requerimientos del sistema de subirrigación para la producción de pimiento y su efecto en el crecimiento, rendimiento y algunas características químicas del sustrato. Se evaluaron dos láminas (10 y 15 cm) y tres tiempos (10, 20 y 30 min) de riego en dos tamaños de contenedor (13 y 25 L) con sustrato a base de una mezcla de turba ácida y perlita. El contenido de humedad del sustrato fue mayor con láminas de subirrigación de 10-15 cm durante 30 min, en ambos contenedores. Con lo anterior, se procedió a evaluar la respuesta del pimiento al sistema de subirrigación comparado contra riego superficial. Se obtuvo mayor rendimiento de fruto subirrigando con una lámina de 15 cm por 20 min, igualando el rendimiento de las plantas con riego superficial. El peso seco de plantas fue mayor con una lámina de 15 cm por 30 min. El pH fue más bajo en el estrato superior del sustrato con láminas de 10 y 15 cm durante 20 y 30 min, respectivamente. La CE fue mayor en el estrato superior con lámina de 15 cm por 30 min. El Ca 2+, NO 3 -y K + fue mayor en el estrato superior en riego superficial. Se concluye que la producción de pimiento en subirrigación es posible ya que se obtienen rendimientos similares a los obtenidos con riego superficial al implementar una lámina de 15 cm durante 20 min. AbstractProduction in a closed system promotes higher efficiency in the use of water and fertilizers. The aim of this study was to determine some of subirrigation system requirements for the production of pepper and its effect on growth, yield and some chemical characteristics of the substrate. Two irrigation lamina (10 and 15 cm) at three irrigation times (10, 20 and 30 min) in two container sizes (13 and 25 L) with a substrate mixture of peat and perlite were evaluated. Moisture content of the substrate was higher with subirrigation lamina of 10-15 cm for 30 min, in both containers. With this, it proceeded to evaluate the response of pepper to subirrigation system compared with surface irrigation. Greater fruit yield was obtained subirrigating with a lamina of 15 cm for 20 min leveling plant yield with surface irrigation. Plant dry weight was greater with a lamina of 15 cm for 30 min. The pH was lower in the upper layer with lamina if 10 and 15 cm for 20 and 30 min, respectively. EC was higher in the upper layer with lamina of 15 cm for 30 min. Ca 2+ , NO 3 -and K + was higher in the upper layer with surface irrigation. It is concluded that the production of pepper in subirrigation is possible as similar yields to those obtained with surface irrigation are obtained by applying a lamina of 15 cm for 20 min.

Based on the discharge characteristics test for a porous pipe used widely in greenhouse sub-irrigation in west Liaoning Province, China, Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) was applied to monitor the process of soil water movement during sub-irrigation. A model to determine the soil wetting shape was developed using a dimensional analysis method. Statistical analysis revealed that this model has a high accuracy in simulating the wetted soil shape, demonstrating that there was no significant difference between predicted and observed soil wetted width under different depths. It showed that one simple model could also be used to simulate the shape of the wetting area under a porous pipe sub-irrigation system, which was expected to provide aids for deciding depth and intervals of pipes and designing a sub-irrigation scheme. Copyright # 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. RÉ SUMÉA partir des tests de débit caractéristique d'un tuyau poreux largement utilisé en irrigation souterraine sous serre dans l'ouest de la Province de Liaoning, une Réflectométrie dans le Domaine Temporel (TDR) a été utilisée pour surveiller le processus du mouvement de l'eau dans le sol pendant l'irrigation. Un modèle pour déterminer la forme de mouillage du sol a été développé en utilisant une méthode d'analyse dimensionnelle. L'analyse statistique a révélé que ce modèle est d'une très grande précision dans la simulation de la forme mouillée du sol, car il n'y avait aucune différence significative entre la prévision et l'observation de largeur de sol mouillé à différentes profondeurs. Elle a montré qu'un modèle simple pouvait aussi être utilisé pour simuler la forme de la zone humide en irrigation souterraine à canalisations poreuses, ce qui permet une aide à la décision concernant la profondeur et les intervalles entre tuyaux lors de la conception d'un système d'irrigation souterraine.
