Abstract
The conventional irrigation methods described previously have certain advantages, as well as limitations, when one considers their technical, economical, and crop-producing values. The trickle-irrigation method was developed for specific conditions of an intensive irrigated agriculture. Some of the technical and agronomical objectives in selecting the optimal irrigation method for such conditions are listed below.
