| The
water use efficiencies of cabbages (cv. Golden Acre) irrigated via
microsprinkler, drip [trickle], microtube or surface irrigation methods
were determined in India. Cabbages were planted at a spacing of 0.5 x
0.6 m. The highest yield was obtained in the microsprinkler irrigation
treatment (40.23 t/ha), followed by drip irrigation (38.97 t/ha),
surface irrigation (33.76 t/ha) and microtube irrigation (32.54 t/ha).
Water use efficiency was highest for drip irrigation, followed by
microtube irrigation, microsprinkler irrigation and surface irrigation.
Compared with surface irrigation, percentage water savings were 61.44,
59.28 and 36.82% for microtube, drip and microsprinkler methods,
respectively. |
