Abstract

Effective irrigation practices, management of irrigation water, amount and time irrigation water application are constraints to improve production, minimize water use, and protect natural resources. The experiment was conducted for three consecutive years at Hadero Tunto Zuria Woreda in farmers’ fields to identify the impact of irrigation regime which allow achieving optimum Tomato yield. From the study site soil was collected to determine its physical and chemical properties of the soil, daily climate data were collected from nearest meteorological station. The experiment has four levels of treatments (125% MAD, 100% MAD, 75 % MAD and farmer practice) which were arranged in RCBD with four replications. The long year’s climatic data were collected and analyzed by CROPWAT8.0 software to calculation of the right amount of water needed for the irrigation. The treatment was conducted under furrow irrigation method and Parshall flumes were used to measure inflow rates at each field.. The experimental field has 16 plots and each plot size was 4m by 5m dimension.
