Effect of different irrigation systems on yield and income of corn (Zea mays L.).

The global climate chancing experienced in growing agricultural products in the world and Turkey requires modification not only vegetation also the irrigation system. In this process, some plants which drought-resistant varieties, consuming less water and irrigation systems that sustainable water resource are carried out constantly by practitioners, economists, environmentalists and technical staff. Economical acceptance is important for adoption to farmers and realization practices. Especially some scientific research must be required between the cost and reflection of agricultural product of pressurized irrigation system that first installation are high costly and use of sustainable environmental and water resources. In this study the conditions of Central Anatolian especially Ankara corn plants growing in cultivation as well as feed and oil crops, production costs of different irrigation system, productivity and profitability levels are introduced comparison. At this study, furrow, sprinkler and drip irrigation systems were investigated at corn. According to initial findings, the revenue of pressure-drip-irrigation system per hectare was found higher significantly furrow irrigation. In addition, drip irrigation had more yields than furrow irrigation. It system lead to water savings. Drip irrigation system was extremely easy to operate and its labor during irrigation is minimal than others. Due to less the operating pressure, the cost differences between drip and sprinkler system was appeared. At the corn income, it was determined that drip systems had more other irrigations systems
