The soil water distribution patterns in each case must determine the emitter election (discharge rate) and the emitters density of the drip system, depending on the crop characteristics. A well-designed drip irrigation system must be properly managed (avoiding clogging) to preserve a high emission uniformity, in order to reach a good water use efficiency. The use of the class A evaporation pan is a simple and reliable method to quantify Evapotranspiration (ET) inside the greenhouse in Mediterranean areas. Tensiometers are practical for determining drip irrigation frequency.

In recent years, there has been a rapid expansion of greenhouse grown crops in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. Additionally, new irrigation techniques have also been introduced in greenhouses. The latest irrigation technology introduced in greenhouses is drip or trickle irrigation. Additionally, tensiometers have also been introduced and now widely used for irrigation timing in vegetables. Although tensiometers are not suitable for direct measurement of soil water content, they measure matrix pressure (i.e., energy status of soil water) and therefore, they are most reliable for irrigation timing, particularly in vegetables. Irrigation scheduling of conventional soil-grown greenhouse crops depends on evapotranspiration (ET) rates and readily available soil water content (about 50% of total available water within the top 30 cm soil, most active root zone under localized irrigation systems). The tensiometer readings in the range of 0-75 cb is adequate for drip irrigated crops and in most soils under greenhouse production, as non-stress conditions are usually required for high yields. Results of some case studies of drip irrigation under greenhouse conditions are discussed.

After the presentation of the complex problems related to irrigation and fertilization, some alternative techniques for protected crops in arid climates are presented and discussed. Such techniques lead to a real water saving and a reasoned use of nutrients by using either free water or "complexed" water with the addition of a biodegradable product.
