Abstract: The most productive agricultural regions are in periodic lack of natural rainfall, and its unequal distribution during the vegetation period. During each vegetation period there are 1-5 dry periods, which fact negatively influences the growth and development of crops, and consequently also the yields. Supplement irrigation helps keep water status of soil and plants at the level that is favourable for their physiological processes during individual growth phases. The usage of appropriate irrigation system can meet different needs of plants for supplement irrigation during the whole vegetation. Finally, it can influence the amount of production.The results of the theoretical research, as well as the practical applications prove that mastery of complicated management systems and processes demands usage of probability approach based models, i.e. simulation models. These models cannot be realized without computers. In the simulation of irrigation processes there can be used the simulation models of queuing theory. Results of these models provide suitable information for finding out the need for the irrigation technique and for projecting the irrigation systems.
