Abstract
In order to investigate impactes of furrow firming on furrow irrigation performance, a field experiment was conducted during Sugarbeet growing season in Nagadeh. Four furrow irrigation treatment of furrow firming includes B1: furrow firming with once roller, B2: furrow firming with twice roller, B3: furrow firming with thrice roller and B0: without furrow firming were considered to collect field data for 1388 period and all evaluation parameters were collected. The surface irrigation model: WinSRFR, was calibrated and evaluated by using field measurements data. Furrow Infiltration and Roughness parameters, was calibrated by multilevel optimization method.The maximum relative error for estimation of advance and recession times and runoff were obtained 2.1, 4.7 and 4.5%, respectively. For 13 irrigation events assessment, application efficiency of B0, B1, B2 and B3 were obtained 50.03, 55.77, 60.22 and 62.31%, respectively. So as to increase irrigation performance, optimal combinations of cutoff time and inflow rate were extracted for all irrigation events and treatments. Under B3 furrow firming, the mean water productivity increased about 17.8% compared with without furrow firming. Beside with assumption of optimal cutoff time and inflow rate, water productivity is increasable about 27%.
