Author(s): Nuha Mohammad Jead and Yusrah T Bakar AL-Bajari

Abstract: The study aimed to estimate the water use efficiency of the yellow maize crop under supplementary irrigation systems in Salah El-Din Governorate / Al-Dour district as a model for the agricultural season (2020-2021). Al-Safra in Al-Dur District of Salah Al-Din Governorate, which contains the data required for this study. The number of farmers in Al-Dur district for the production season 2021 reached (352) farms, and the total cultivated area reached (3750) dunams for fixed and pivotal irrigation. (70) farms with an area of (1000) dunams, and the number of fixed irrigation farmers is (42) farms with an estimated area of (700) dunams, The indicators of the economic efficiency of irrigation water use were studied, and it was clear from the results that the highest economic efficiency and the highest economic returns were recorded in pivotal irrigation farms. Water, especially since a large number of farmers depend on well water, which contains a high percentage of salt, and thus leads to calcification and blockage of sprinklers. As for the reason for the decline in productivity, it is attributed to poor management of irrigation systems of both types (fixed and pivotal), as well as other factors.
