Abstract
The use of trickle irrigation is discussed with reference to Tanzania. A split-split plot design experiment is described in which yields of tomato, onion, and cabbage are compared for trickle and hand-irrigated plots, with different levels of fertiliser treatment. Yields for trickle-irrigated plots were significantly greater only for tomatoes. These results were achieved during July to October and a second attempt to grow the same vegetables during December to March was unsuccessful. Further trials are required to obtain a suitable rotation of vegetable crops from both a nutritional and agronomic point of view. Experience with the trickle irrigation equipment is also described.
