Fixed-furrow irrigation (FFI₁₄ with 14 days interval and FFI₇ with seven days interval) were used to investigate the impacts of deficit irrigation on yield, crop-water relations and economic return at Middle Nile Delta area in comparison with every furrow irrigation (EFI, conventional method with 14 days interval). The results indicated that grain yield was increased with FFI₇, whereas it tended to decrease under FFI₁₄, in comparison to EFI. The water applied was reduced with FFI₇ and FFI₁₄ when compared to EFI. The crop water use decreased under the FFI₇ and FFI₁₄ techniques as compared to EFI. The FFI₇ scheme exhibited improved crop water use efficiency values, compared to EFI. The results indicated also that FFI₇ treatment does not only increase grain yield, benefit-cost ratio and net return, but also save irrigation water.
