Effects of irrigation on components of secondary crops yields in Croatia

In the agroecological conditions of Podravina, in summer 1992 and 1993, the investigations were carried out regarding the effeets of irrigation on the components of yields of millet, maize and dwarf Franch bean as secondary crops. The results obtained shows that irrigation affected favourably both the vegetative and the generative stage of crop development. Due the irrigation, the yield of millet was 5.4 times higher in 1992 and 1.6 times in 1993 than the yields in non irrigated areas. The yields of Franch bean was 4.5 time higher in 1992 and 2.4. times higher in 1993. All this speaks in favour of introducing of secondary crop in order to achieve better land utilization and additional irrigation makes this production secure, which leads to more rational use of the entire agroecological potential in the region of Podravina (Drava river valley.
