Abstract

Abstract: This study was conducted in the field of Tekirdag Viticulture Research Institute. Drip and micro sprinkler irrigation methods were compared in respect to irrigation water requirements, establishment cost, running cost, energy cost and annual total cost in the cherry orchard of 27.3 da. For this purpose, soil characteristics were determined, irrigation water requirements of cherry was calculated, and then, irrigation systems were planned, system capacities were determined, system components were designed and project estimated costs were prepared according to prices of year of 2006. The cost of establishment, capital, fixed, energy, maintenance, labour of irrigation and annual total costs were calculated by economic analysis. As a result, seasonal irrigation water requirements were found 397 mm and 482 mm for drip and micro sprinkler irrigation methods, respectively. System capacities were determined as 3.56 L/s in drip irrigation method and 5.12 L/s in micro sprinkler irrigation method. Annual total capital cost and annual total cost were found as upper at the level of 17% and 13%, respectively, in drip irrigation method than micro sprinkler irrigation method. According to the this results, it has been suggested that, when irrigation water has been taken from the wells with low dynamic head, if water source has been adequate micro sprinkler irrigation method can be applied, but if water is scarce drip irrigation method should be preferred.
