In an effort to improve jujube cultivation in areas with limited water, a study compared different irrigation methods. They tested vertical tube irrigation with varying water pressures against surface drip irrigation for two years. The results showed that vertical tube irrigation saved 37-70% of water and was 1.4-4.3 times more efficient than surface drip. Jujube trees watered using vertical tubes had slightly higher yields, less fruit cracking (by 25-83%), and improved sugar-acid ratios. This method maintained stable soil moisture levels, benefiting jujube growth. By delivering water directly to the main roots, evaporation was reduced, saving water. The lowest water pressure head showed the highest water use efficiency. These findings support the use of vertical tube irrigation in dry regions to enhance jujube production.
