Rural – FCA – UNESP – Campus de BotucatuCP 237 – Fone(14) 6802-7165 – CEP.  18603-970 – Botucatu – SP   1 RESUMO              Este trabalho teve como o objetivo, verificar o efeito da freqüência da irrigação subsuperficial por gotejamento no desenvolvimento inicial da cana-de-açúcar.            Os tubos gotejadores foram instalados sob a linha da cultura, a uma profundidade de 0,3 m. A cana-de-açúcar foi plantada no dia 03/03/2000 e a partir de 01/04/2000 iniciaram os tratamentos nas parcelas irrigadas. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, com quatro tratamentos, e quatro repetições, definidos por regimes de freqüência da irrigação. O sistema de irrigação era acionado quando a evapotranspiração da cultura atingisse 10 mm, 20 mm, e 30 mm, para os tratamentos 1, 2, e 3 respectivamente. O tratamento 4 foi definido como testemunha (não irrigado).             A colheita foi realizada no dia 05/12/2000 e através da avaliação de produção de massa fresca, diâmetro e comprimento do colmo, e produção de massa seca, observou-se que não houve diferença estatística entre os diferentes regimes de freqüência de irrigação. Todavia, quando comparado com a testemunha, as irrigações proporcionaram um aumento médio maior que 45 % na produção de massa fresca e seca final dos colmos.   UNITERMOS: irrigação por gotejamento subsuperficial, cana-de-açúcar.   DALRI, A.B., CRUZ, R.L. EFFECT OF SUBSURFACE DRIP IRRIGATION FREQUENCY ON GROWTH OF SUGARCANE (Saccharum spp.)   2 ABSTRACT             The aim of this study was to verify subsurface drip irrigation effects on sugarcane initial growth.           Drip lines were set up under crop rows at 0.3 m deep. Sugarcane was planted on March 3, 2000, and drip irrigation treatments began on April 1, 2000. The experimental design was entirely randomized with four treatments and four replications according  to irrigation frequency. Irrigation system was turned on when crop evapotranspiration reached 10, 20 and 30 mm for the treatments 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Treatment 4 was considered  the control (without irrigation).           Harvest was carried out on December 5, 2000, and based on fresh and dry weight, stem diameter and length evaluation no statistical differences for irrigation frequencies have been observed, although irrigation has increased fresh and dried yield over 45% when compared to the control treatment.  KEYWORDS: subsurface drip irrigation, sugarcane.[1] Parte da dissertação do primeiro autor, para obtenção do título de Mestre em Agronomia – Irrigação e Drenagem

Entretanto, muitas vezes a irrigação está presente nas agriculturas tecnificadas, pois se traduz em maiores produtividades, melhor qualidade do produto e independência de chuva. Este trabalho teve como objetivo o estudo da freqüência de irrigação por gotejamento subsuperficial no desenvolvimento da cana-de-açúcar, no primeiro ciclo de cultivo. Os tratamentos foram definidos pela freqüência da irrigação: o sistema de irrigação era acionado quando a evapotranspiração da cultura superasse 10 mm, 20 mme 30 mm, para os tratamentos L1, L2 e L3, respectivamente. O tratamento L0 foi definido como testemunha (não irrigado). A irrigação por gotejamento subsuperficial não alterou a qualidade da cana-de-açúcar e não houve diferença estatística entre as diferentes freqüências de irrigação, para produtividade. Todavia, comparados à testemunha, os tratamentos L1, L2 e L3 proporcionaram incremento de produtividade de 47,33%, 58,53%, e 39,86%, respectivamente. UNITERMOS: freqüência de irrigação, manejo de irrigação, análise tecnológica.  DALRI, A. B.; DUENHAS, L. H.; GARCIA, C. J. B.; CRUZ, R. L. SUBSURFACE DRIP IRRIGATION ON SUGARCANE YIELD AND QUALITY   2 ABSTRACT             In Brazil, sugarcane is mostly cropped in dry land conditions. However, it is known that irrigation is present in advanced agriculture, because of its higher yields, better product quality and rainfall independence. This work aimed to study subsurface drip irrigation frequencies on sugarcane development during the first season. Treatments were defined by different irrigation frequencies: irrigation system were turned on when evapotranspiration reached 10 mm, 20 mm, and 30 mm, for treatments L1, L2, and L3, respectively. Treatment L0 was defined as control (non-irrigated). It was observed that subsurface drip irrigation did not affected sugarcane quality and there was no statistical difference among different irrigation frequencies for yield. However, when compared to the control, treatments L1, L2 and L3 showed yield increase of 47.33%, 58.53%, and 39.86%, respectively.KEY WORDS: irrigation frequency, irrigation management, technological analysis.

Soil wetted pattern from a subsurface drip plays great importance in the design of subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) system for delivering the required water directly to the roots of the plant. An equation to estimate the dimensions of the wetted area in soil are taking into account water uptake by roots is simulated numerically using HYDRUS (2D/3D) software. In this paper, three soil textures namely loamy sand, sandy loam, and loam soil were used with three different types of crops tomato, pepper, and cucumber, respectively, and different values of drip discharge, drip depth, and initial soil moisture content were proposed. The soil wetting patterns were obtained at every thirty minutes for a total time of irrigation equal to three hours. Equations for wetted width and depth were predicted and evaluated by utilizing the statistical parameters (model efficiency (EF), and root mean square error (RMSE)). The model efficiency was more than 95%, and RMSE did not exceed 0.64 cm for three soils. This shows that evolved formula can be utilized to describe the soil wetting pattern from SDI system with good accuracy.

Two different irrigation systems, subsurface drip irrigation and furrow irrigation, are tested to investigate the level of viral contamination and survival when tertiary effluent is used in arid and semi-arid regions. The effluent was injected with bacteriophages of PRD1 and MS2. A greater number of PRD1 and MS2 were recovered from the lettuce in the subsurface drip-irrigated plots as compared to those in the furrow-irrigated plots. Shallow drip tape installation and preferential water paths through cracks on the soil surface appeared to be the main causes of high viral contamination in subsurface drip irrigation plots, which led to the direct contact of the lettuce stems with the irrigation water which penetrated the soil surface. The water use efficiency of the subsurface drip irrigation system was higher than that of the furrow irrigation system. Thus, subsurface drip irrigation is an efficient irrigation method for vegetable crops in arid and semi-arid regions if viral contamination can be reduced. Deeper installation of drip tapes, frequent irrigations, and timely harvests based on cumulative heat units may further reduce health risks by ensuring viral die-off under various field conditions.

Abstract. Large, precision weighing lysimeters can have accuracies as good as 0.04 mm equivalent depth of water, adequate for hourly and even half-hourly determinations of evapotranspiration (ET) rate from crops. Such data are important for testing and improving simulation models of the complex interactions of surface water and energy balances, soil physics, plant growth, and biophysics that determine crop ET in response to rapid microclimate dynamics. When crops are irrigated with sprinkler systems or other rapid additions of water, the irrigation event is typically short enough that not much ET data are compromised by the lysimeter mass change due to irrigation. In contrast, subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) systems may take many hours to apply an irrigation, during which time the lysimeter mass change is affected by both ET rate and irrigation application rate. Given that irrigation application rate can be affected by pressure dynamics of the irrigation system, emitter clogging and water viscosity changes with temperature over several-hour periods, it can be difficult to impossible to separate the ET signal from the interference of the irrigation application. The inaccuracies in the data can be important, particularly for comparisons of sprinkler and SDI systems, since they are of the order of 8 to 10% of daily ET. We developed an SDI irrigation system to apply irrigations of up to 50 mm to large weighing lysimeters while limiting the period of lysimeter mass change due to irrigation delivery to approximately ten minutes by storing the water needed for irrigation in tanks suspended from the lysimeter weighing system. The system applied water at the same rate as the SDI system in the surrounding field, allowed irrigation over periods of any duration, but often exceeding 12 h, without directly affecting lysimeter mass change and the accuracy of ET rate determinations, and allowed irrigation overnight without compromising lysimeter daily ET measurements. Errors in lysimeter ET measurements using the previous SDI system, which was directly connected to the field irrigation system, were up to 10% of daily ET compared with negligible error using the new system. Errors using the previous, directly connected, SDI system varied over time due to variable system pressure, and possibly due to water temperature (viscosity) changes and emitter clogging. With the new system, all of the water transferred to the lysimeter weighing system was eventually applied by the SDI system regardless of temperature, pressure, or emitter clogging. Differences between planned and applied irrigation depth were less than 2% over the irrigation season. Keywords: Evapotranspiration, ET, Subsurface drip irrigation, SDI, Weighing lysimeter.
