ABSTRACT THE coefficient of variation was used to measure the effects of emitter plugging on the uniformity of emit-ter flow along single and dual chamber drip irrigation lateral lines. The number of emitters per plant was shown to be important when calculating uniformity in-cluding emitter plugging. As a result, the statistical uniformity coefficient was recommended for use in deter-mining the design uniformity of emitter flow along a drip irrigation lateral line when emitter plugging is con-sidered.
