Present status and prospects for sunflower production under drip irrigation in the Black Sea steppe of Ukraine

Journal Title: «Таврійський науковий вісник» - Year 2017, Vol 98, Issue

Abstract

The paper presents the results of examining the present status and prospects of growing sunflower under the conditions of drip irrigation in the Black Sea Steppe of Ukraine. It has been determined that sunflower accounts for about 70% in the structure of the areas under oil bearing crops and about 85% of the gross yield. Ukraine is in the ТОP-10 of sunflower producers in the world. At present the extension of the areas under sunflower is connected to the worsening of ecological and economic problems, especially it concerns the southern region of Ukraine. The limiting factor of increasing sunflower production under the conditions of the Black Sea Steppe of Ukraine is moisture. One of the promising technologies is sunflower cultivation under drip irrigation. Currently, this irrigation system is an important measure aimed at the efficient use of the resource potential in irrigated agriculture. The results of the research show that sunflower production under drip irrigation in the Black Sea Steppe is not only possible but also economically efficient, as sunflower yields under drip irrigation were up to 4.0 t/ha depending on the varieties. The implementation of the recommended technology of growing sunflower under drip irrigation will allow not only reducing irrigation water losses, man-caused impacts on the environment, but also increasing yields and product quality.
