Drip irrigation system uniformity can preserve a higher crop yield and deplete the initial investment of cost. The experiment was conducted at precision farming development centre research farm, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, to evaluate the uniformity coefficient and soil moisture distribution under drip irrigation system. The experiment was designed under Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) which included three fertigation levels 80%, 100% and 120% of Recommended Dose of fertilizers which were replicated thrice. The Coefficient of Variation (CV) was obtained as 0.0207 per cent kept at a constant pressure of 50.66 kPa, Statistical Uniformity (SU) as 97 per cent and Coefficient of Uniformity (CU) as 0.9518. As the elapsed time increased, the rate of increase of wetted zone diameter decreased. A high R2 value of 0.97 shows the goodness of fit for the horizontal movement. The mean soil moisture distribution 39.2 per cent was observed below the emitter at the depth of 10 cm immediately after irrigation.

"A field experiment was conducted in Maysan in the winter season 2017-2018 on silt clay soil to determine the hydraulic standards for border drip irrigation system depending on the lateral pipes Spacing and measurement site within network in effect of soil conditioners and level water irrigation on the saline distribution horizontal and vertical distribution .the experimental treatment of three lateral pipes Spacing at 30 cm (S1) , 45 cm (S2) and 60 cm (S3) whit three soil conditioners organic material, used oil and control , the conditioners were added based on the dry weight of the soil , and two levels of irrigation water 75% and 100% from Ep . The treatments were applicated using RCBD , results showed that the decrease in the soil salt content due to the decrease in the distance between the field pipes , treatment S1 recorded the highest values (3.72 and 3.21) dsm-1 and it was significantly different from the two treatments S2 (4.04 and 3.55) dSM-1 and S3 (4.40 and 3). 88) dsm-1 , soil conditioners treatment of Oil was superior to the lowest values (3.33 and 2.82) dsm-1 , followed by the OM treatment (3.94 and 3.29) dsm-1 , with a significant difference compared to the comparison values (4.89 and4.53) dsm-1 , as well the results showed that the treatment of irrigation level exceeded 100% (3.92 and 3.32) dsm-1 with significant differences compared with the irrigation level of 75% (4.19 and 3.77) dsm-1 at the beginning and end of the growing season respectively. There was also a decrease in the saline content, both horizontally and vertically due to the decrease in the distance between the field pipes, the use of irrigation level 100%, and with the addition of conditioners.."

An experiment was conducted in the field of the University of Baghdad in 2015 In loamy sand  soil to study the effect drawbar and field efficiency using of a combine implement used for installation subsurface irrigation pipes and drip irrigation under different discharges. Subsurface irrigation system and drip irrigation system with three levels of discharge included 2.5,3.0 and3.5 L\hr-1 were used in this experiment. Field efficiency, drawbar, soil moisture content and soil  bulk density were measured in this stdy. Nasted design under randomized complete block design(CRBD) with three replications were used in this experiment. Least significant differences (L.S.D) at 0.05 levels were used to compare the mean of treatments. The results were showed the follows: Subsurface irrigation got 12.7 kw drawbar and 29.45% moisture content and 1.43g/cm3 bulk density g/cm3 and  84% field efficiency.While Drip irrigation system got 9.73kw drawbar and 25.19% moisture content and 1.47g/cm3 bulk density and 89% field efficiency. The successful of using combine implement to install subsurface irrigation pipes with tillage at the same time.
