ABSTRACT: Two field trials were carried out at Nubaria private farm, during growing seasons 2013 and 2014 to evaluate irrigation water requirements and determine an irrigation schedule for maize crop. The treatments were three alternative irrigation. Irrigated one furrow and un-irrigated one furrow, irrigated two furrows and un-irrigated two furrows and irrigated three furrows and un-irrigated three furrows., two land surface slopes (zero level and 0.05% slope of furrow surface applying laser leveling) and three quantities of irrigation water applied (100% of the ETc, 85% of the Etc and70 %of the Etc). The results showed that: | ||||
