Porto Alegre - RS 1 RESUMO No Rio Grande do Sul cultiva-se o arroz como monocultura há pelo menos 5 décadas. Uma alternativa para introduzir-se rotação de cultura seria o cultivo do milho, aproveitando-se da estrutura de irrigação utilizada para o arroz. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar diferentes manejos de irrigação e drenagem visando introduzir o milho como alternativa para rotação de cultura em Gleissolo Háplico Distrófico Típico. O experimento foi conduzido nas safras de 2013/2014 e 2014/2015, na estação experimental do IRGA em Cachoeirinha-RS. Foram testados quatro tratamentos, todos com declividade de 0,08%, ao longo do comprimento das parcelas (79 m) e com três repetições: microcamalhão com irrigação por sulco; microcamalhão sem irrigação; sem microcamalhão com irrigação por lâminas superficiais (banhos); e sem microcamalhão sem irrigação. Foram avaliados alguns indicadores de rendimento do milho e a eficiência do uso da água (EUA) nas diferentes alternativas de manejos. Na safra 2013/2014 os resultados indicam produtividade superiores a 10 t ha-1 para o tratamento irrigado e com microcamalhão. Na safra de 2014/2015 não houve diferença significativa nos tratamentos. O milho utilizado como rotação de cultura com o arroz é tecnicamente viável com uso de irrigação e de uma drenagem eficiente. Palavras-chave: Zea mays; microcamalhão; solos mal drenados.

An alternative to introduce crop rotation would be the corn crop, taking advantage of the irrigation structure used for rice. The objective of this study is to evaluate different management of irrigation and drainage aimed to introduce corn as an alternative crop in Gleissolo Háplico Distrófico Típico. The experiment was conducted in 2013/2014 and 2014/2015, in IRGA's experimental station in Cachoeirinha-RS. Four treatments were tested, each with a slope of 0.08% along the length of parcels (79 m) and three replicates: furrow irrigation and small bund; no irrigation and small bund; basin irrigation and no small bund; and irrigation and no small bund. Were evaluated some income component of corn and the water use efficiency (USA) in the different alternatives managements. In 2013/2014 the productivity results indicate higher than 10 t ha-1 for the treatment and irrigated with microcamalhão. In 2014/2015 there was no significant difference in treatments. Corn used as crop rotation with rice is technically feasible with efficient irrigation and drainage management. Keywords: Zea mays; microcamalhão; poorly drained soils.

Field experiment was carried out during spring seasons of 2015 in AL-Rasheed township southern of Baghdad, Iraq to study the effects of irrigation methods on water content distribution, water use efficiency and yield of corn. Four surface irrigation treatments were used: 100% conventional basin (control), 70% of control treatment basin irrigation, Conventional furrow and shallow furrow. Water content distribution results showed that shallow furrow irrigation decreased moisture content to 14.7, 18.3 % for 0-10 and 10-20 cm depth respectively, compared to conventional basin irrigation. The result showed that treatments of conventional furrow, shallow furrow and 70% basin irrigation reduced the depth of added water in rate of 33, 28 and 30%, respectively comperd to control treatment (884mm season-1). Conventional furrow irrigation significantly increased corn grain yield to all treatments except conventional basin. In the mean while, other treatment did not differ from the conventional irrigation method. Water use efficiency of conventional furrow irrigation was significantly higher than all other treatments with 80% increment than others. Thus the 70% basin irrigation and shallow furrow irrigation is more productive yield when compared with traditional irrigation.

Basin Irrigation

An experiment was conducted to assess the yield potential and Water Use Efficiency (WUE) of Canola crop grown under sprinkler and basin irrigation techniques on a clay loam soil. The experiment was designed by the Principles of Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two treatments, viz. T1 (sprinkler irrigation method) and T2 (basin irrigation method), replicated four times. Marginal quality water with Electrical Conductivity (ECw) of 1.83 dS/m and pH of 8.2 was used for irrigation. The crop yield obtained under T1 and T2 treatments were 1,407.9 and 1,123.8 kg ha-1, respectively; 20% more yield was observed under T1 treatment. In the given order of treatments (T1 and T2), the Canola crop used 3,605 and 4,453 m3 ha-1 of irrigation water, hence, 19% water saving was achieved by T1 treatment. The WUE attained under T1 and T2 treatments were 0.39 and 0.25 kg m-3 respectively; therefore, 35.8% WUE was enhanced under T1 treatment. While comparing the agronomic parameters of the crop under the two procedures, all the observed parameters (plant height, number of branches plant-1, number of pods plant-1, pod length, number of seeds pod-1 and biomass plant-1) were superior in case of T1 treatment than T2 treatment. The soil Electrical Conductivity (ECse), Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR), and Exchangeable Sodium Percentage (ESP) increased, and pH decreased under both the treatments, however, the maximum increase in ECse, SAR and ESP, and maximum decrease in pH occurred under T2 treatment. Statistical analysis showed that the crop yield, irrigation water use, WUE, ECse, pH, SAR, ESP, and all the agronomic parameters differed significantly (p < 0.05) under the two treatments.

Boro Rice

Utilization of urea super granule (USG) with raised bed cultivation system for transplanted boro (winter, irrigated) rice production is a major concern now days. A field experiment was conducted in the chuadanga district of Bangladesh to compare the two cultivation methods: deep placement of USG on raised bed with boro rice, and prilled urea (PU) broadcasting in conventional planting. Results showed that USG in raised bed planting increased grain yields of transplanted boro rice by up to 18.18% over PU in conventional planting. Deep placement of USG in raised bed planting increased the number of panicle m-2, number of grains panicle-1 and 1000-grains weight of boro rice than the PU in conventional planting. Better plant growth was observed by deep placement of USG in raised bed planting compared to PU in conventional planting. Sterility percentage and weed infestation were lower on USG in raised bed planting compared to the PU in conventional planting methods. Forty seven percent irrigation water and application time could be saved by USG in raised bed planting than PU in conventional planting. Deep placement of USG in bed saved N fertilizer consumption over conventional planting. Water use efficiency for grain and biomass production was higher with deep placement of USG in bed planting than the PU broadcasting in conventional planting methods. Similarly, agronomic efficiency of N fertilizer by USG in bed planting was significantly higher than the PU broadcasting in conventional planting. This study concluded that deep placement of USG in raised bed planting for transplanted boro rice is a new approach to achieve fertilizer and water use efficiency as well as higher yield and less water input compared to existing agronomic practices in Bangladesh.
