This study investigated and surveyed the irrigation conditions of 116 small fruit type watermelon and melon growers in 7 districts of Beijing;and analyzed the irrigation water source,irrigation method and irrigation system.The results showed that only 43.5%of the planting parks had both frequency conversion and filtration equipment at the head of the irrigation shaft.Individual farmer households only accounted for 15.9%.And 57.0%of the respondents adopted water-saving irrigation method,47.7%of them adopted drip irrigation,and 9.3%of them used micro jet.The irrigation volume for small fruit type watermelon in spring was mainly 1 500~2 250 m3·hm-2(taking 35.4%).The irrigation volume for small fruit type watermelon in autumn was less than 1 500 m3·hm-2(taking 46.3%).While,the irrigation volume for spring melon was mainly less than 1 500 m3·hm-2(taking 52.6%).In response to the existing problems,the paper puts forward suggestions for future development.They were perfecting integration system,optimizing water-saving irrigation mode,and increasing promotion effort,etc.
