Diseño agronómico del sistema de riego parcelario para el Proyecto Chambo – Guano, Fase II, para la comuna Chingazo Módulo N° 5, parroquia La Matriz, cantón Guano, provincia de Chimborazo.

Abstract

The deficit and shortage of irrigation water has its origin from different sources, one of them is inadequate use, and this forces to elaborate the agronomic and hydraulic design at plot level of the Chingazo San Jacinto irrigation project of the Chambo-Guano irrigation system, the objective was to determine when, how much and how to irrigate the water making the crops get the vital liquid in an efficient way. In the community of Chingazo San Jacinto, located in the UTM reference coordinate, WGS 84, 17 S, of X: 768133.0; Y: 9820694.0 the technical parameters of agronomic, topographic and social character were determined between January and November 2022, those studies provided many results among them the edaphic properties being soil of sandy loam texture, the reference evapotranspiration (Et) of 4.25 mm dia-1, soil with an infiltration of 66 mm h-1. The results obtained in the field allow selecting the type of irrigation, appropriate emitter for micro sprinkling, also it allows to select the appropriate crop for these conditions, all these considerations will allow increasing productivity, because irrigation will be applied at the right time before the crop enters in permanent wilting point and also before the humidity reaches the minimum level allowed by the drying rate, under these conditions irrigation will be done every eight days, for 3 hours in each shift, the availability of water will be during the day (12 hours).
