A trial was carried out in Mauritius to determine the most appropriate combination of irrigation regime, dripline placement and row spacing for drip-irrigated sugarcane grown under local conditions is described. Measurements were made of cane growth and yield on 14 treatments throughout 3 crop seasons ( a plant cane crop and 2 ratoon crops). Detailed measurement were also made of the distribution of soil water potential on each of the 14 treatments using 2-dimensional arrays of tensiometers. These data were used to explain differences between treatments in both cane growth and yield. Periods of over and under-irrigation were identified. Recommendations are made for the design and management of drip schemes sited on similar climatic conditions. | |
