This study was conducted at Huot Research station,\nGeneral Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research (GCSAR) during 2016-2017 in order to achieve: (1) study the\neffect of deficit irrigation (DI) on some of the yield properties of water\nmelon , (2) study the effect of DI on water melon  water use efficiency and irrigation water\nneeds. Therefore three treatments were tested in this experiment (1) 100% of\nETc irrigation, (2) 75% of ETc irrigation, (3) 50% of ETc irrigation. Complete\nrandomized design with three replications was used. Where (DI) was applied when\nthe first flower bloomed.The results showed that water melon  irrigation needs 550 mm. in addition it\nshowed that the deficit  irrigation\ndecreased significantly the yield of water melon fruits, the fruit Wight, and\nthe water use efficiency when the irrigation percents of Etc were decreased,\nwhere the yield was 8645, 6185, 3505 kg\/ donm, and the fruit wight was 12.49,\n9.53, 5.25 kg\/ fruit, for the treatments 100% of ETc irrigation, 75% of ETc\nirrigation, 50% of ETc irrigation respectively. In the other hand total\nsolublesolids significantly increased as the water stress increased where\nthetotal soluble solids was 6.42%, 7.55%, 8.61%, for the treatments 100% of ETc\nirrigation, 75% of ETc irrigation, 50% of ETc irrigation respectively. Therefore,\nwhen water is easily available with little cost it is recommended to apply 100%\nof ETc irrigation on water melon, else 75% of ETc irrigation DI is recommended\nwhen there is a shortage in water recourses or the water price is so high, but\n50% of ETc irrigation is not recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
