Abstract | ||||
The effect of irrigation techniques (surge and continuous drip) and two irrigation water levels of crop water requirements (100% and 80% of CWR) on squash production in new lands were investigated. The results indicated that wetted areas increased by increasing the irrigation water level. The highest value of yield (5893 kg/fed.) was obtained from T4 (surge irrigation with 100% of crop water requirements with 45 min irrigation cut-off). Maximum water use efficiency value (7.38 kg/m3) was recorded with T9 and T10 (surge irrigation, 80% of crop water requirements with 45 min and 60 min irrigation cut-off resp.) | ||||
