Response of Crop yield to Moisture distribution Uniformity of Sprinklers

摘要

Water scarcity is the common problem for agriculture experienced all over the world. To overcome this problem, efficient use of available water is necessary. Many methods are used for applying irrigation to the field crop. Irrigating with sprinkler system is most efficient method adopted by water users, which has proved to be most beneficial for the crops. The uniformity with which an irrigation system applies water has an effect on the efficiency of the system. The uniformity of an irrigation system needs to be high to ensure that the majority of the crop receives an adequate amount of water. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of Low sprinkling distribution uniformity on the yield of pea. This study revealed that low distribution uniformity will result in low yield. It also reveals that to maximize the yield of pea the depth of irrigation should be doubled when irrigating using sprinkler irrigation on daily basis.
