Abstract
The experiment was conducted at Al-Rabii Date Palm Station /Zafaraniah/ Baghdad , between 1/10/2005 to 31/12/2007. Research included offshoots of Al-Zahdi cultivar under two irrigation systems (drip and surface). Different quantities depending on Class A pan with different irrigation periodes. Study water consumption and the effect on offshoots growth were considered. Results show that drip irrigation Compered with surface irrigation decreased with quantity at level (40,120)% Class. I was also found that irrigation quantity in 120% class (A) with two days recorded highest percentage to reach 81% of planting offshoots under drip sytem. while surface irrigation treatment recorded 80,40% class (A) in period irrigation between 10-15 days showed the Towest degree in planting offshoots. I was found that irrigation quantity of 120% class (A) under drip irrigation system for (4) days records highest degree in number, longest , shortest leaf (12,118,3,33) cm respectively, while treatment 40% class (A) for two days records lowest number, longest leave (3,65,18) cm respectively The total water consumption for most sutable irrigation treatment in the first year was 3086.4 ml and the second year 3063 ml, so the total consumption for this treatment period was 6488.4 ml. The crop factor for this treatment was found. .
