Abstract

Analyzing response of crop yield on varying irrigation methods is focal point for guarantying water resources management and reducing water loss. This paper investigates palm yield in the both drip and traditional irrigation methods. To do so, Bisaliah model as well as the Logit model has been applied in the Saravan city for the yield evaluation and also with the aim of assessment of the some economic factors effects on reception of drip irrigation by farmers in this region. . As a result, the Bisaliah model indicated that the production yield of palms will increase by to 28.98%by using the drip irrigation with comparison of traditional irrigation considering no change in the consumption of inputs and will increase the yield up to 5.35% more than usual by changes in inputs utilization. Using drip irrigation for orchards and vineyards may cause a 38.54% increase in yield (kg/ha). The Logit model results indicated that farmer’s age, the number of family laborers and the availability of water have negative impacts on the adoption of drip irrigation. Therefore, it is recommended that the results of this study be taken into consideration by planners in order to improve date production using irrigation technology.
