Abstract

Effect of using different drip irrigation treatments on the properties’ of extracted sunflower oil were investigated. The following resulted for two seasons (2013 and 2014) for the Surface and Sub Surface Drip Irrigation treatments (SDI and SSDI).Two sunflower varieties (Saka 53 and Giza102) were included in the treatments. For: season (2013) and variety Giza102: Ir. Systems, resp.: SDI and SSDI ETo %, From 50 to 100 yield kg/fed: 512 to 1055 oil % 30.4 to 43.4%. Corresponding results prevailed for the subsequent season for the yields and oil ratios by the two irrigation systems tested and sunflower varieties. In conclusion, the irrigation treatments have shown great effects on the oil yield and quality.
