Evaluation of surge flow furrow irrigation for onion production in a semiarid region of Ethiopia
The study was conducted to evaluate surge irrigation against continuous irrigation in terms
of irrigation and water use efficiencies to produce onion. It was carried out at Mekelle
Agricultural Research Center, Ethiopia on 70 m long and 0.6 m center–center spacing
furrows of 0.26% average slope on a clay soil. The treatments consisted of factorial
combination of two discharges (Q 1= 1 l/s and Q 2= 2 l/s) and three-cycle ratios (CR 1= 1/3,
CR 2= 1/2, and C= 1 for continuous irrigation). Surge flow treatments advanced faster than …
