Abstract
The present study was carried out in the experimental farm of the faculty of Agriculture, Menoufia University, Shibin EL-Kom during (Summer season 2015 and winter season2016).The main goal of this research was to investigate the effect of the Partial rootzone drying irrigation on soil moisture, tomato yield and water use efficiency , and to compare it with the Conventional irrigation under three amount of water (100%-75% and 50% of ETC) and two ways (covering and non-covering system). Results showed that Partial rootzone drying irrigation and the covering system increased the soil moisture content at soil profile and the percentage of marketable yield and improved the irrigation water use efficiency (WUE) compared to the CI methods especially, when applying them under deficit water.
