Abstract

Introduction:Considering the importance of increasing agricultural water productivity in dehydrated areas such as Iran, The present study investigates the factors affecting the acceptance of combined pressure irrigation systems in Takestan.. This research is descriptive-correlation with survey method.
Materials and Methods:The statistical population of this study was 1500 gardeners in Takestan city who used this system in their gardens. About 205 gardeners were gathered through questionnaires and interviews. The reliability of the variables was calculated by calculating the Cronbach''s alpha coefficient for the attitudes in the questionnaire 0.87. In this research, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to achieve the goals set and to answer the research questions. The statistical methods used included descriptive statistics such as frequency, using SPSS19 software.
Findings:The findings of the research showed that between variables of gardener''s attitude in using combined pressure irrigation systems with utilization efficiency, groundwater drainage, reducing power consumption and reducing the costs of equipment used to apply irrigation under pressure to a specific level 1% is a positive and significant relationship.
Conclusion:If the level of groundwater subsidence is more pronounced and government subsidies are increased for joint irrigation projects, the use of this method will also increase, with increasing income and economic boom.
can be used.
