Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of fertigation components on emission uniformity, emitter clogging and soil infiltration rate. The effects of two types of emitters (pressure and non-pressure compensating) with two discharges (2 and 4 L h-1) and six fertilization treatments were undertaken. For all fertilization treatments, the emission uniformity significantly (p
