Abstract
The irrigation of crops cultivated in protected areas is necessary because the natural precipitations intake is not possible and it can't be used the groundwater intake. The results regarding the water consumption and irrigation conditions of the lettuce cultivated in protected areas were obtained after applying the micro irrigation with sprayers and dripping irrigation. Comparing the irrigation and water consumption obtained in the case of the two watering methods, we can conclude that on the variants irrigated with sprayers were given larger amounts of water than in dripping irrigation, instead the productions obtained were contrary to expectations.
