Evaluation of Irrigation Efficiencies of of Furrow Irrigation Using Surge, Bund ,Cutback and Cut off Techniques

Abstract

This study was conducted at the Demonstration Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Khartoum, Shambat, clay soil with the objective to determine application, distribution and storage efficiencies for furrow irrigation using four techniques namely; surge flow, bunds, cut-back and cutoff. The furrow length was 82 m. The four techniques were randomly distributed in the experimental area and the design followed was Randomized Complete Block Design. The results showed that the highest application efficiency of 82% was obtained with surge irrigation technique followed by bund (64%) cut-back
