THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SPRINKLER IRRIGATION TECHNOLOGY IN THE CULTIVATION OF SECONDARY MILLET CROPS
Keywords:
repeated wheat, sprinkler irrigation, yieldAbstract
This study investigated the effect of sprinkler irrigation technology on the yield and water consumption of repeated wheat crops. The results showed that sprinkler irrigation increased yield by 15% compared to conventional irrigation and reduced water consumption by 25%. Additionally, the average grain weight improved. The study confirms the importance of implementing sprinkler irrigation technology for efficient cultivation of repeated wheat crops and conservation of water resources.
