Pemberian air irigasi secara konvensional di lahan usaha tani menyebabkan penurunan nilai efisiensi air irigasi. Hal ini dapat mengakibatkan kehilangan air irigasi dan pemberian air irigasi yang tidak sesuai dengan kebutuhan tanaman. Penerapan teknologi irigasi sprinkler mampu meningkatkan efisiensi dan water produktivity irigasi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tanaman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efisiensi penerapan teknologi irigasi sprinkler pada lahan pertanian di Kecamatan Tarakan Utara Kota Tarakan. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan mulai November 2020 sampai dengan Februari 2021 dan bertempat di Kecamatan Tarakan Utara Kota Tarakan. Penelitian ini terdiri atas beberapa tahapan yaitu analisa tanah lahan percobaan, kinerja irigasi sprinkler, koefisiensi keseragaman (CU) irigasi sprinkler, distribusi keseragaman (DU) irigasi sprinkler, efisiensi penyimpanan (Es) dan efisiensi penggunaan (Eap) irigasi sprinkler. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa tanah lahan percobaan memiliki tekstur lempung berpasir. Efisiensi penerapan irigasi sprinkler tergolong dalam kondisi baik dengan nilai CU = 89,18%, nilai DU = 82,79%, nilai Es = 75%, nilai Eap = 68% dan nilai water produktivity sebesar 0,93 kg/m3.

Provision of irrigation water conventionally on farmland causes a decrease in the efficiency of irrigation water. This can result in loss of irrigation water and irrigation water that is not suitable for crop needs. The application of sprinkler irrigation technology can increase irrigation efficiency and water productivity to meet plant needs. This study aims to determine the efficiency of the application of sprinkler irrigation technology on agricultural land in North Tarakan District, Tarakan City. This research was conducted from November 2020 to February 2021 and took place in North Tarakan District, Tarakan City. This research consists of several stages, namely the analysis of experimental land, sprinkler irrigation performance, sprinkler irrigation uniformity coefficient (CU), uniform distribution (DU) of sprinkler irrigation, storage efficiency (Es) and efficiency of use (Eap) of sprinkler irrigation. The results showed that the experimental land had a sandy loam texture. The efficiency of the application of sprinkler irrigation is in good condition with a CU value = 89.18%, a DU value = 82.79%, an Es value = 75%, an Eap value = 68% and a water productivity value of 0.93 kg / m3.
