Abstract
In this study, performances of drip irrigation system used by 18 enterprises, established with the loans provided by 9-unit cooperatives located in Aydin province under Agricultural Credit Cooperatives of Turkey Izmir Regional Union were investigated under field conditions. Criteria of ASAE EP458 were used to evaluate the performance of drip irrigation systems. For this, indicators of the statistical uniformity of the emitter discharge rate (U-s), statistical uniformity of the emitter discharge rate due to hydraulic design (U-gh), statistical uniformity of the emitter performance (U-pf) and general performance (U) were used.
