The study aimed towards developing a computer model to be used for evaluating theeffect of water distribution uniformity of deficit irrigation with saline water on field cropproduction. The development of the model is based on the concept of water balance in thefield. For the application of the model, corn crop (yellow maize) autumn season is selectedusing ready data on reference evapotranspiration at the selected field site (North JazirahProject – Nineva). Moreover, published data on field sprinkler water distribution aroundsprinkler head of stationary system are used. The main assumption upon which the model isbased is that, for a given case, irrigation water distribution and salinity are fixed for allirrigations during the season. The results of the study revealed that the deficit in the yield ratio increases with the increase in moisture depletion ration and water salinity, but decreaseswith the increase in the degree of irrigation uniformity. Furthermore, the effect of salinity onproduction is greater with deficit irrigation, therefore a balance should be sought betweendeficit irrigation level and water salinity on production under each case of irrigation non-uniformity. Finally, the study showed that the leaching fraction increases as the degree ofirrigation uniformity deteriorates because deep percolation losses increase with the reductionin uniformity.Downloads
