This study was conducted to evaluate trickle irrigation system performance under greenhouse conditions in Antalya Province of Turkey. For this purpose, uniformity coefficient (UC) by graphical method as well as emission uniformity (EU) was researched. The UC varied from 56% (unacceptable) to 90 % (perfect) and EU varied from 41% (poor) or (unacceptable) to 92% (perfect or good). The main problems detected were poor system design and clogging within systems. This fact is produced by different reasons, standing out the low efficiency distribution networks, insufficiency in maintenance and repair works and friction losses.
