This study was conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture, Damascus
University, during two seasons (2002-2003) to assess the effect of irrigation
methods (drip, sprinkler, furrow) of maize (Gota 82). The results showed
significant differences between
irrigation methods in grain and green weight
production (average of two seasons, for grain: 6.48 t/ha,6.065 t/ha, and 7.905
t/ha for drip, sprinkler and furrow irrigation respectively, and for green
weight 24.4t/ha, 22.04t/ha, and 25.75t/ha for drip, sprinkler and furrow
irrigation respectively).Concerning total water requirement, drip irrigation
method was the lowest one (average of two seasons, 4392.87m3/ha) followed by
sprinkler irrigation (5565m3/ha) compared with furrow irrigation
(9011.92m3/ha).
An experiment was conducted for two seasons 2015 -2016, to study the effect
of treated waste water (TWW) on some fodder crops productivity at Salamieh
Research Center (GCSAR), on triticale and sesbania crops within crop rotation. This
experiment w
as conducted with collaboration between (ACSAD) and (GCSAR).
The experimental design was split plot design with three replicates, using drip
irrigation (DI) and surface irrigation (SI) systems with two treatments namely fresh
water (FW) and (TWW). Soil and water were analyzed before cultivation.
