Abstract :
Deficit irrigation strategies in furrow
irrigation are important concerns to save irrigation
water in areas of poor water management. This study
was conducted to establish the strengths andweaknesses
of the current irrigation practices in Dedza district, to
evaluate the influence of two different types of deficit
irrigation on yield strategies on yield, and to establish
the profitability ofpotato production under AFI and FFI.The Certified potato variety “Violet” seeds
were used as study material during the experiment
which was laid out as a randomized complete block
design.
Keywords :
Deficit Irrigation, Irrigated Potato Production, Water use Efficiency, Maximum Allowable Depletion, Alternate Furrow Irrigation, Fixed Furrow Irrigation.
