Summary: The project consist of scientific research ( lasting 5 years) ofagricultural soils water regime arrangement by means of pipedrainage and agricultural crop irrigation. The research haveapplied and partly basic character. They are performed atstations by field plot experiments. The research program iscarried out in pipe drainage system and irrigated fields inagroecological conditions of eastern Croatia. The aims of projectare to find out drainage measures effect on soil and crops aswell as plant reaction on irrigaton, during critical phases oftheir growth. The results of the research in the period from 1991- 1993 show the following: - drainage systems improved lands actproperly bringing down the underground water on tolerant depts(60 - 80 cm under soil surface) and drainage measures havepositive influence on stabilization and increasing of crop yields(on the avarage 20 - 50 %). - Agricultural crop irrigation isjustified for seed and vegetable crops for it stabilizes andincreases their yields (on the average 15 - 45 %) by adding lessquantity of water (20 - 40 mm) in two or three rates duringvegetation. Obtained results of the research give new scientificknowledge and congnitions from the field of drainage andirrigation in agronomy and it is already applied in agricultural production on these areas.

Keywords: Soil water regime, soil drainage, pipe drainage, undreground water level, irrigation of crop, crop yield.

Research goals: The aims of the project are investigations and revealing the influence of agricultural soil water regime arrangement (in the eastern part of Croatia) on growing and crop yields. The researches, during the project, anticipate: - establishing the efect of pipe drainage on arable lands, soil and main farming crop yields, establishing of crop reaction on irrigation and determation of crop water demand and the moment of irrigation. The project results should show the work of underguound pipe drainage systems on researching soils (whether excessive water drainage effect positive or negative on farming production). The results with irrigation are expected to show the importance and significance of artifical addition of water to some crops during vegetation in these districts. The researches and their results should give scientific contribution for more important production increasing of high-quality and biologicaly healthy food for people and catlle as well as raw materijals for industry.
