The water use efficiency was also higher than for conventional methods of irrigation. The monetary gains from micro-irrigation systems were larger than for conventional methods of irrigation for all crops. Information on water use efficiency, productivity and advantages of micro-irrigation compared to conventional irrigation methods is compiled and presented.born digitalproceedings (reports)engCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
