Filtration plays vital role to improve the efficacy and reduce the maintenance of drip irrigation systems. The experiment was conducted to evaluate drip irrigation filters (gravel, disk filter and their combination) for groundwater filtration. Water quality parameters responsible for emitter plugging, such as total solids, turbidity, Ca, Mg, CO3 and HCO3 were analyzed at the entry and exit points of filters. The filtration efficiency for water quality parameters was estimated with individual filters and in combination. Significant improvement was observed for turbidity, total solids, carbonate and bicarbonate. The filtration efficiency with combination filter was 14.3±8.8% for turbidity and 16.3±9.31% for bicarbonates. Gravel filter gave better results for filtration of bicarbonate in comparison to the disk filter. Emitters protected by the gravel media filter experienced the largest flow rate reductions but emitters protected by combination filters experienced least flow rate reduction. Backwashing of filters reduces the filtration efficiency and head loss. To reduce emitter plugging by removal of accumulated sediment, flushing of mains, submains and laterals are recommended. Higher improvement in uniformity coefficient was observed in subsurface drip after flushing operation. The results may be utilized in planning and design of subsurface drip irrigation system to diminish emitter clogging incidence.

Small-scale research plots and demonstrations of fertilizer application through a drip-irrigation system have inherent characteristics that make using commercial fertilizer injection systems difficult. Uniform fertilizer application, without excessive water, is essential for meaningful results in these small-scale, rate-specific studies. An inexpensive, easy to build, continuously diluting fertilizer injector is described. This injection system was reliable and provided uniform application under the confines of a low flow rate.

UNIFORMITY OF DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM WITH LIQUID PEAT ON DIFFERENT SLOPES     ALLAN REMOR LOPES1; MARCIO ANTONIO VILAS BOAS1; FELIX AUGUSTO PAZUCH1; LUCIANO DALLA CORTE1; BENEDITO MARTINS GOMES1; ROSEBEL TRINDADE CUNHA PRATES2   1 Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Agrícola (PGEAGRI) – Departamento de Recursos Hídricos e Saneamento Ambiental (RHESA), Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná (UNIOESTE), Rua Universitária 2069, Jardim Universitário, CEP: 85819-110, Cascavel, Paraná, Brasil, [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] 2Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná (UNIOESTE), Rodovia PR 182 Km 02, Francisco Beltrão, Paraná, Brasil, [email protected]     1 ABSTRACT   The use of liquid peat is an alternative to use of mineral fertigation However, it is necessary to monitor the uniformity of this organomineral fertilizer in order to obtain its adequate use, so the organomineral fertilizer can produce better quality crops. This study aimed to evaluate the uniformity of a drip fertigation system with liquid peats on different slopes. The experiment was carried out on a test bench, where the flow rate of the drippers was determined and subsequently its uniformity was calculated using the Christiansen uniformity coefficient (CUC) fot the treatments in level (0%), uphill (2%) and downhill (2%). The experimental statistics were performed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s test at 5% probability to compare uniformity, in addition to the analysis of the process by Shewhart and CUSUM control charts. Liquid peat showed excellence in its uniformity (>90%) while used for drip irrigation systems. The liquid peat applied at the level slope was the most uniform, followed by upslope and downslope treatments, respectively. Through Shewhart and CUSUM control charts, it was possible to affirm that fertigation with liquid peat in level obtained a better performance.   Keywords: control chart, uniformity, organomineral fertilizer, microirrigation.     LOPES, A.

UNIFORMIDADE DE SISTEMA DE IRRIGAÇÃO POR GOTEJAMENTO COM TURFA LÍQUIDA EM DIFERENTES INCLINAÇÕES     2 RESUMO   O uso da turfa líquida é uma alternativa ao uso da fertirrigação mineral. No entanto, é necessário o monitoramento da uniformidade deste fertilizante organomineral para obter seu uso adequado, assim o fertilizante organomineral pode produzir culturas de melhor qualidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a uniformidade de um sistema de fertirrigação por gotejamento com turfa líquida em diferentes inclinações. O experimento foi conduzido em uma bancada de testes, onde a vazão dos gotejadores foi determinada e consequentemente sua uniformidade pelo Coeficiente de uniformidade de Christiansen (CUC) para os tratamentos em nível (0%), aclive (2%) e declive (2%). A estatística experimental foi determinada pela análise de variância (ANOVA) e teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade na comparação da uniformidade, complementando os gráficos de controle de Shewhart e CUSUM. A turfa líquida apresentou excelência na sua uniformidade (> 90%) em sistemas de irrigação por gotejamento. A turfa aplicada em nível (0%) foi a mais uniforme, seguido pelos tratamentos em aclive e declive, respectivamente. Através dos gráficos de controle de Shewhart e CUSUM foi possível afirmar que a fertirrigação em nível obteve uma melhor performance.   Palavras-chave: gráficos de controle, uniformidade, fertilizante organomineral, microirrigação.

A field experiment was carried out in the field of the College of Agriculture / University of Wasit, located on longitude  45o   50o   33.5o   East and latitude 32o 29o 49.8o North, in Spring season of the agricultural season 2019, in order to estimate the water consumption of potato crop using SWRT technology and under the drip irrigation system. The experiment was designed according to Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications and four treatments that include of the SWRT treatment (the use of plastic films under the plant root area in an engineering style), and the treatment of vegetal fertilizer (using Petmos), organic fertilizer (sheep manure), and the control treatment . Potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum L.)  var. Burin was planted for spring season on 10/2/2019 at the soil depth of 5-10 cm. The highest reference water consumption for the potato crop during the season was calculated by Najeeb Kharufa, which was 663.03 mm. The highest actual water consumption for the potato crop during the season for the control treatment was 410.1 mm. The results showed increase in the values of the crop coefficient (Kc) in the stages of tubers formation and tubers filling stage as compared to the vegetative and ripening stages, ranged from 1.37-1.92 for the two stages of tubers formation and tubers filling. The SWRT treatment gave the highest water use efficiency during the season, was 3.46 kg m-3 .
