Abstract

The developmentof surface irrigation using gated pipes technique canreduce the irrigation water losses and improve the irrigation water use efficiency.This study was carried out during two successive summer seasons of 2021 and 2022 on maize (Zea mays L.) crop, grown in sandy loam under modified surface irrigation system by gated pipes to evaluate the performance of using gated pipes compared to traditional surface irrigation method on water application efficiency, water distribution efficiency, water deep percolation percent and maize production under different furrows irrigation lengths 30 m (L30) and 60 m (L60) at three levels of cut-off irrigation as Q1: when the applied water was reached the end of furrow, Q2: when the applied water was reached 90% of furrow length and Q3: when the applied water was reached 80% of furrow length. The results summarized thatthe maximum average value of maize yield was 3565 kg/fed., achieved by using a gated pipes irrigation system under 60 m furrow length when cut-off irrigation 90% of furrow length. On the other hand, the minimum average value was 2589 kg/fed., which achieved by traditional irrigation method at 60 m furrow length when cut-off irrigation 80 % of furrow length. The maximum average value of the saved irrigation water was 35.04% of the average values of the total water applied, achieved in the case of using a gated pipes irrigation system at 30 m furrow length when cut-off irrigation 80% of furrow length.
