Abstract EN
Two field experiments were conducted at the Research Farm, Agricultural Research Station, El-Kharga, New Valley Governorate, Egypt, during 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 seasons to study the impact of irrigation levels (I1=100%, I2= 80% and I3= 60% of potential evapotranspiration, ETp) and fertigation frequency (F1= 3, F2= 6, F3= 12 and F4= 18 doses) on safflower crop.
The experiments were laid out in randomized complete block design in strip-plot arrangement with three replicates.
Results showed that the highest mean values of seed yield, oil yield and NPK use efficiency were recorded from drip irrigation at 100% of ETp with number fertigation splitting to 12 equal doses.
The increment percentage of seed yield due to I1F3 treatment over fertigation splitting 3 doses under the same irrigation treatment were 62.2% and 61.1%, 42.34% and 41.63% when using I2F4 treatment in both seasons, respectively as compared to 100% of ETp with fertigation splitting 3 equal doses (I1F1).
The highest mean values of water use efficiency were recorded from drip irrigation at 80% of ETp with fertigation splitting 18 doses in both seasons.
So, it is concluded that treated safflower plants with I2F4 to get economical yield and water use efficiency, respectively; therefore it may be saving 20% of irrigation water
