The research addresses the importance of optimizing agricultural production through efficient irrigation systems. The study focused on comparing the effects of hand irrigation and mist irrigation on the yield and economic profitability of hydroponic corn forage, an innovative technology that maximizes the use of limited resources such as water and space. The main objective was to determine the impact of irrigation systems on the productive yield and economic profitability of the crop. To do this, a completely randomized experimental design was used with two treatments (manual and nebulization irrigation) and 14 replications each, using hydroponic trays as experimental units. The data collected include yield in fresh and dry matter, production costs and income generated. The results showed that mist irrigation significantly outperformed manual irrigation, achieving an 8.7% increase in yie...
