Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in Al-Burjessia farms and the Al-Burjessia Demonstration Farm affiliated with the Agricultural Extension and Training Department / Ministry of Agriculture, located 65 km from Basra city, during the 2024/2025 season. The region is classified physiographically as desert (Buringh, 1960) and climatically as arid. The soil is categorized as Typic Quartzipsamment. The study aimed to assess the impact of irrigation techniques on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield. Wheat seeds (variety: Bohouth 22) were sown using surface irrigation and drip irrigation systems. The experimental design followed a strip plot layout. Irrigation water quantity was calculated based on a root depth of 0-20 cm and 0-40 cm, restoring soil moisture to field capacity. Results showed that irrigation methods significantly affected growth parameters and grain yield, with drip irrigation producing the highest wheat yield.
