Effects of Supplemental Irrigation on Crop Yields: Case Study Kales (Brassica Oleracea) Crop

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects that supplemental irrigation (SI) has on the Kale (Brassica Oleracea) crop yields as compared to the wholly rain-fed crop. The experiments were conducted in Kieni, Central Kenya where the rainfall pattern was bimodal. The planting for rain-fed crops was done in three blocks, each measuring 10×1 m with a spacing of 30 cm between plants and 45 cm between the rows of plants; the procedure was repeated for the crops receiving SI. The average weekly yields were computed for both crops for each season comprised of 14 weeks. The average weekly yields were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to determine whether the average yields from the rain-fed and supplemental irrigated crops were statistically different. This was done with MS Excel 2016 spread sheets by setting a statistical level of significance of 5%. The F value was 17.94 higher than the critical value of 4.01 while the P-value of 9×10–5 was lower than the 5% level of confidence meaning that there was a significant difference in the yield means of the rain-fed and SI crops. The total rain-fed crop yields for the period was 147.0 Kgs and that of the one under SI was 238 Kgs, an increase of about 62%. Therefore, supplemental irrigation can be adopted in the areas where rainfall trends are declining to increase the crop yields when all other factors remain constant for farmers – to increase resilience.

Podstawową wielkością charakteryzującą jakość pracy rozsiewacza nawozowego jest nierównomierność poprzeczna i podłużna rozmieszczenia nawozu na polu. Następstwem nierównomiernego rozmieszczenia nawozu jest występowanie powierzchni niedonawożonych i przenawożonych, prowadzi to do obniżki plonu, a niewykorzystany przez rośliny nawóz zanieczyszcza środowisko naturalne. Skonstruowano zależności matematyczne dotyczące plonowania w funkcji dawki nawozu, podano wpływ wskaźnika nierównomierności rozsiewu i uogólnionego współczynnika zmienności dawki plonowania roślin.

Basic parameter of operation quality of a fertilizer spreader is the longitudinal and transverse uneveness of fertilizer distribution in the field. Uneven fertilizer distribution results in the occurence of some under - and over-fertilized areas in the field what decreases crop yields, while the fertilizer not taken up by the plants contaminates natural environment. The mathematical relationships describing crop yielding in function of fertilizer dose were formulated as well as the effect of distribution uneveness index and generalized coefficient of fertilizer dose variation on the crop yield were given.
