Irrigation efficiencies of sugar cane yield under different furrows lengths in Upper Egypt [electronic resource]

Includes bibliographic reference

The research field experimental work was conducted at the farm of E Mattana Research Station of the Agricultural Research Center, Luxor Governorate, Upper Egypt during growing .reason 2012&2013 in clay soil on sugarcane crop. The objective of the herein research trial are to study surface irrigation system performance through using gated pipe system technique under different furrows irrigation lengths treatments
L125 (125m) L100 (100m). L75 (75m) and land slope 0.1 % comparing with the traditional irrigation methods under the same condition and treatments. The consequent effects of applying such methods on advance, recession and opportunity time, total water applied, yield. water application efficiency and water use efficiency for sugar cane was considered. The Results showed that the total head losses due to friction was increased gradually until reached 8.4% of the original pumping pressure head measured. The flow variation through 18 meters apart of the gated pipe system was about 13.9 %. Therefore the uniformity distribution of flow through outlets along the gatedpipe system was about 86.1 %. On the other hand pressure head variation was about 9.42 %.
