Abstract

This study was performed throughout consecutive seasons of 2020 and 2021 on 8 years age trees of Manfalouty pomegranate trees grown in a sandy soil at special farm situated at Banu Uday, Manfalout city, Assiut Governorate, for studying the impact of three levels irrigation: 60, 80 and 100% of water requirement (WR) via drip irrigation on growth, yield, fruit quality and irrigation water efficiency (WUE).
The current results declared that all studied vegetative traits significantly decreased due to irrigate with 60% of water requirement compared to 100% of water requirement (control). No significant differences were recorded for studied parameters due to reducing water from 100 to 80%. Also, using 80 or 100% of WR significantly increased yield and marketable yield as well as improved the fruit quality. Using 60% of WR gave the maximum water use efficiency (WUE). It is evident from the obtained data that using 80% of water requirement via drip irrigation induce an improve the trees growth traits and increasing the market value of resulting crop. Moreover, raising efficiency and reduce water used by about 20% of water requirement.
