RT Generic T1 Introduction of micro-sprinkler systems to mango production into theuplands Northern Thailand T3 CIGR International Symposium on Sustainable Bioproduction - Water, Energy and Food A1 Spreer,Wolfram A1 Schulze,Karin A1 Srikasetsarakul,Umavadee A1 Ongprasert,Somchai A1 Müller,Joachim WP 2013/02/20 AB In order to asses water saving potentials of advanced irrigation methods in irrigated mango production in Northern Thailand, micro sprinklers have been introduced and compared into the area. Three micro sprinkler treatments were established on two commercial orchards: a. Full irrigation based on climate data, b. Partial Rootzone Drying, c. Farmer?s decision. These treatments were compared to the traditional irrigation methods. It was found that by the introduction of micro sprinklers, farmers were able to increase their water use efficiency, while the fruit size distribution was more favourable for export marketing.
