Abstract

DripArickle irrigation is an irrigation method, which gives high efficiency, high effectivity and assures high productivity/yield. This method, is often used for hodiculture and vegetable crops. The objective of this research is to study the effect of drip irrigation by continuous water application using 1 and 2 emitters on water distribution and crop growth. The results show that irrigation water by using 2 emitters was spread horizontally more, gave taller crops and more leaves than that using 1 emitter. In general, the effect of continuous water application was better than intermittent water application.
