IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF FURROW IRRIGATION SYSTEM

The Sultanate of Oman agriculture is completely subject to groundwater. The customary surface irrigation system, for example, furrow remains the most widely recognized water system procedure covering right around 80% of the horticultural region. The framework has low water utilize proficiency and upgrades soil disintegration. In the event that the furrow system can be changed and enhanced to a level that can expand the proficiency and spare water, noteworthy advantages will happen. In this way, the target of this investigation was to alter the furrow system to a furrow bed framework and assess its water utilize productivity in contrast with the furrow irrigation system. The analysis was directed in plots of 2×3 m in the Agricultural Experiment Station of Sultan Qaboos University, Oman. Each plot had either a trickle water system framework or furrow bed of 60 cm width. The plots were partitioned haphazardly utilizing complete piece outline with two medications (water source was freshwater and treated wastewater and water system strategy was furrow informal lodging) and three replications. Wheat was sown and every single required parameter for soil and plants were measured. Plants were inundated day by day by drippers or each five days by furrow in view of harvest evapotranspiration esteem. From soil saltiness information, it was discovered that the two techniques added a few salts to the root zone with less salts found in the furrow bed strategy because of the overwhelming draining that happened amid irrigation. In any case, the general information did not demonstrate a critical distinction (p<0.05) in soil saltiness between both water system technique. Since treated wastewater has some additional supplements contrasted with freshwater, plant development was better with treated wastewater and all development parameters were higher with treated wastewater contrasted with freshwater. Wheat flooded by trickle gave better organic yield contrasted with furrow bed irrigation. For the most part, all deliberate information gathered from both irrigation techniques did not demonstrate any critical distinction (p<0.05). Water efficiency information gave better outcomes with furrow bed contrasted with dribble technique. This demonstrates the higher productivity of furrow bed contrasted with old strategy for furrow irrigation. Be that as it may, trickle water system could be better in diminishing dissipated water while furrow bed is a simple strategy in getting great yield with minimal effort and high profitability.
