Effect of Water Application Level on Garlic (Allium sativum L.) Under Different Furrow Irrigation Systems, in Tiyo District, Central Ethiopia

The availability of water is increasingly impeding crop productivity and agricultural growth. In the Tiyo area, where water resources are limited, a field experiment was carried out to evaluate furrow irrigation methods and deficit irrigation levels that maximize garlic bulb output and water usage efficiency. Twelve treatments were created using the furrow irrigation systems—CFI, AFI, and FFI—and irrigation levels—100%ETc, 85%ETc, 70%ETc, and 55%ETc—that were arranged in an RCBD with three replications. The outcome showed that while the various degrees of furrow irrigation had no effect on the number of leaves per plant, bulb height, bulb weight, neck diameter, glove number, and glove weight, they did have a significant impact on plant height, leaf length, and garlic bulb diameter.
