5.Summary and Conclusion

This study was conducted in the experimental site of Agricultural College of Suez Canal University during the winter season and the summer season. At the winter season, the faba bean seeds were sowed and twenty-eight day old seedling of onion were transplanted in double rows to the main field, and irrigated by the methods of surface, drip and sprinkler irrigation systems for each crop. Normal fertilizers were applied to soil as recommended. To study moisture content, nutrient and root distribution in the soil, samples were collected using tube auger from the experimental area. At the summer season, the maize and cowpea seeds were sowed at the field and irrigated by the methods of surface, drip and sprinkler irrigation systems for each crop. Normal fertilizers were applied to soil as recommended. Soil and root samples were collected from the soil profile below one plant (corn and cowpea) at three irrigation systems by pressing sharp-edged iron box (30cm× 20cm) horizontally in soil profile to deep 40cm.

The following achievements were obtained:

The potassium concentration decreased with soil depth. Available potassium increased horizontally with increasing in distance at soil depths from 0-40cm. Under drip irrigation, available potassium of the soil planted with cowpea increased horizontally with increasing in distance at soil depths from 0-40cm. For the soil planted with corn, available potassium increased with horizontal distance and decreased with increasing in soil depth. The data showed that potassium availability of the soil planted with maize under sprinkler irrigation increased horizontally and decreased vertically with increasing in soil depth. For the soil planted with cowpea, available potassium decreased horizontally and vertically with increasing in soil
