Abstract

ABSTRACT Field experiments were conducted along two successive seasons of summer 2012 and 2013 at two private farms located in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt. The first field is denoted as (F1) located in South Sinai, Ras Sudr; and the second field denoted as (F2) located in NorthSinai, El Tina Plain, to estimate the potential implement development of surface irrigation approaches in the North and South Sinai for forage sorghum production. The experiments carried out in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. Each experiment contains two longitudinal soil surface slopes (0.1 and 0.16%) namely: S1, and S2, respectively, and two irrigation water inflow rates were represented q1, and q2 as in an average of 180 and 108 liter min-1 furrow-1, respectively.The irrigation performance was evaluated through application efficiency (AE%), low-quarter distribution uniformity (DUlq) and deep percolation percent (Dp%).Furrow irrigation management, operation, and some design variables (Inflow discharge, furrow slope, and irrigation cutoff time) were correlated which estimated related to water management by studding different treatments in both sitesusing WinSRFR 4.1.3, Program. Average yield of forage sorghum and crop water productivity (CWP) were estimated. The obtained results indicated that under the conditions of each farm, the AE% was directly proportional to the length of the run and inversely proportional to the inflow discharge and the time of irrigation cutoff where q2 obtained the highest average values 93.1 and 93.8% with F1S1 and F2S2 treatments, respectively. The Minimum average values of DP% obtained by q2, it was 6.9 and 6.2% with F1S1 and F2S2treatments, respectively. The highest average values of DUlq obtained by S1, it were 0.85 and 0.83 with F1q1 and F2q2 treatments, respectively. The highest average values of forage sorghum yield obtained 59464 and 61068kg ha-1 inF1S1q2 and F2S2q1 treatments, respectively. The highest average values of crop water productivity obtained by S1q1 treatment, it was 4.25 and 5.4 kg m-3 in farms F1 and F2, respectively.
