| The entire experimental field was located in Limon farm in Badr City, EL Buheira, in Egypt at 30°40'49.8"N 30°33'27.3"E. These treatments attempt to maximizing the productivity of limon crop, and investigate the impact of pressurized irrigation methods utilized on cultivated plants. The experiment was designed using a drip irrigation system (inline drip hosses 8 l/h, a circle with a flow rate 120 l/h (15 Drippers)) and a bubbler irrigation system (Bubbler 110 l/h) at 100% and 80% water requirement. A total plot area of 216 m² for drip and bubbler irrigation systems was selected, carried out the experiments, and divided into twelve submain plots, each with its own area of (6×6) m², and comparing them to the current irrigation system (travelling sprinkler), which ’s area of Plot (12×12) m². Three types of emitters were used: an inline dripper (8 l/h), Bubbler 110 l/h, and impact sprinkler ¾” flow rate 1580 l/h. Results indicated that the flow rates for emitters (dripper, bubbler) were (6.8, and 104.8) L/h, respectively. Emission uniformity was (93.98% – 97.53%), respectively. The cumulative clogging ratio ranged between of (0.8, 16.47), and (0.42, 6.92), respectively. The best productivity was 11.37 ton/fed/year when using a drip irrigation system with a 100% water requirement, and the lowest productivity was 7.55 ton/fed/year when using a sprinkler irrigation system. The total cost of constructing an irrigation network per fed was 25550 L.E. for the drip irrigation system, 25774 L.E. for the bubbler irrigation system, and 12415 L.E. for the sprinkler irrigation system. | ||||
