N2  - This study is aimed to develop a design of drip irrigation  system for coconut, determine its cost under local conditions  and to develop an interactive computer program for the design  of the system.  The estimated crop water requirement of coconut in the  experimental area in Philippines was equal to 4.0 mm/day. A  depth of 65 mm/irrigation of water and an interval of  irrigation of 17 days are necessary for the irrigation. Five  drippers having a flowrate of 4 lph/dripper are recommended to  a coconut tree.  Designs of drip irrigation for the experimental site and  for various farm sizes using local materials were prepared and  corresponding cost estimates and analysis were made. For a  hectare of coconut, an establishment cost of P68,860.00  ($3,130.00) and operating expenses of PB0.00 ($4.00)/irrigation  are estimated considering the costs in the year 1990.  Finally, an interactive computer model for designing drip  system for coconut operating under different conditions is  presented. The model is useful for designing systems of varying  farm sizes and with intercrops of coffee and blackpepper
