Abstract

This paper represents one of the outcomes from a project financed by Al-Mansoura University Research unit *. Due to the rapid expansion of building new faculties and facilities on the Agriculture Faculty farm of the main campus, the total area of the farm decreased vigorously down to approximatley 5 Faddans! The Dakhlia Governrate specified  150 Faddans  north at the coast of the Mediterranean sea (2 km off shore) to be used as the new faculty farm. The main general objective was to improve the surface irrigation system in the faculty new established farm. Where the laser technique was used at three slope levels. Three irrigation systems were assembled ( gated pipes, perforated pipes and siphon pipes ). The necessary soil and water analyses were carried out. Wheat and squash crops were planted. Experimental treatments were applied. The project outcomes may be summarized as follows: 1)     Level 5 Faddans of the faculty new farm using laser technique and three slopes( 0.1 %  -  0.15 % - 0.20 %). 2)     Esablish three extension learning fields to assist in practical classes as well as training students. These fields uses three irrigation systems; gated, perforated and siphon pipes. 3)     Results of field experiments showed that land leveling treatment of 0.2 % had the highest significant effect on crop yield either with wheat crop and/or squash crop. Stream size treatments had no significant effect on wheat and squash crop yield. Cut-off irrigation treatment of 90 % had the highest effect on crop yield either with wheat crop and/or squash crop. Similar consistent results were obtained with water use efficiency factor.
