Authors: Üstün ŞAHİN, Abdurrahman HANAY

Abstract: This study was conducted in the Daphan Plain in Erzurum. The irrigation periods and amount of irrigation water requirements of plants which are planned to be grown were determined. The calculations were done separately for dry, normal and wet seasons. The water consumptions were considered as irrigation parameter in calculations. For this reason, the CROPWAT Version 5.5 computer program developed by FAO was used. The irrigation scheduling was determined for the crop pattern of cereals 25 %, forage crops 45 % and row crops 30 % for dry, normal and wet seasons.
