Economic study of the application of drip irrigation method (Tape) in wheat cultivation

Drought in Iran is a climatic fact, and due to the growing water demand for the various sectors, the water scarcity problem will become more severe in the coming years. Due to the lack of water resources and proper use it, the importance of research on wheat irrigation by drip irrigation technique, has been increased in recent years. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of drip lateral distances and amount of net irrigation water on wheat crop water productivity in drip irrigation (tape) in two farms located in the Mashhad (MHD) and the Torbat-e-Heydariyeh(Jolgeh-Rokh) (RKH) with loam and clay loam soil texture respectively. The results of this study showed that the highest final net income was obtained in Mashhad (18183222 Rials) and in Torbat Heydariyeh (Rokh plain section) (15828426 Rials) from the treatment of 100 cm strip distance (drip method) with subsidies in mind. Therefore, tape distance of 100 cm was the most economical treatment in this study.
