Abstract

Expansion of irrigated area combined with efficient management of water will enhance the attainment offood security and poverty alleviation goals of the country. Irrigation agriculture significantly contributes to food security, producing 40% of food and 70% of global freshwater withdrawals. This study investigates the effect of furrow irrigation on the yield of common beans in Ethiopia's central Rift Valley. The experiment was conducted on loam soil with three furrow irrigation methods: alternate, fixed, and conventional, and three deficit irrigation levels of 100, 85, 70, and 55%. The analysis of variance showed that the grain yield of common beans was significantly affected by irrigation levels and furrow irrigation methods. The highest grain yields, plant height, and above-ground biomass were obtained with 100% ETc under conventional furrow irrigation. The maximum water use efficiency obtained from alternative furrow 70% ETc (1.4kg/m³) followed by alternative furrow 55% ETc (1.38kg/m³). where as, the minimum was obtained from conventional 100% ETc. An irrigation application of 70% ETc under alternate irrigation could be considered optimal irrigation management in a water-scarce area.
