تحسين الإنتاجية المائية في إنتاج محصول الحنطة في منطقة الموصل

Abstract EN

This study aimed to optimize the yield of wheat crop under rainfed Agriculture at Mosul zone in Iraq .

this can be reached by the selection of proper time of seeding time which gives the best crop yield for rainfed Agriculture or by adding one supplementary irrigation of selected depth and time which gives the maximum yield or best economical return.

In this study we generated data base using program (Aquacrop) for wheat yield with rainfall depth during the season for rainfall agriculture with rainfall depth +supplementary irrigation by using one irrigation during the season with depth (25,50,100)mm adding to one week of the season which is 23 week with initial water content between field capacity and wilting point with three date to begin the agriculture season the results showed that the optimal seeding time for the rainfed Agriculture is 15 December which gives 257.5 kg/ha yield and the next is 15 November 250.5 kg/ha and 15 January 89 kg/ha, For supplementary Agriculture the best time of the irrigation is the first week of the season with a depth change inversely with rain depth and the best seeding time is 15 November.
