RESUMO

The objective of the present work was to evaluate the irrigation management adopted for papaya (Carica papaya L.) and coffee (Coffea canefhora L.) production in the municipal district of Pinheiros at the north of Espírito Santo. Central pivot irrigation systems are used in the area. Eight pivots cultivated with papaya and six pivots cultivated with coffee were selected. Climatic data were monitored by a climatological station next to the area and the irrigation systems were evaluated using the software IRRIGA 1.55 (2004). The studied parameters were: water application uniformity, irrigation efficiency, percolation loss, appropriately irrigated area and the management of the irrigation. Data was collected during 6 months for management analyses. For the pivots cultivated with papaya the results showed that: 1) Christiansen uniformity coefficient varied from 81,09 to 88,61%, which according to NBR 14244 (1998) three pivots were classified as regular and five as good; 2) Water depths determined at the moment of the uniformity tests, showed that three pivots supplyied excessive depths, causing percolation losses between 78,38 and 90,76% and five pivots had deficit coefficient varying between 19,38 and 78,20%; 3) Irrigation efficiency for the appropriately irrigated area was, on average, 83,20%, indicating that to reach the ideal humidity level of the soil in 80% of the area, it is necessary to increase the requested depths in 20,19%; 4) Analyses of the practiced management revealed that the medium depth applied during the experimental period were inferior to the requested water depths, resulting in soil humidity below the critical levels. For the pivots cultivated with coffee the results showed that: 1) Christiansen uniformity coefficients varied from 71,52 to 87,52%, wich according to NBR 14244 (1998), four pivots presented values below 80%, operating below recommended, one pivot presented a regular value and one pivot presented a good value; 2) Irrigations practiced at days that the uniformity test was performed were deficient in all pivots, with deficit coefficient between1,44 and 84,99%; 3) Irrigation efficiency for appropriately irrigated area of experiment was 76,76% on average, indicating that to reach the ideal soil humidity level in 80% of the area, it is necessary to increase the requested depth in 30,27%; 4) Analyses of the practiced management revealed that the medium depth applied during the experimental period were inferior to requested water depths for all pivots. However, soil humidity was between field capacity and critical humidity.
