Analyzing the response of crop yields to varying irrigation methods is a focal point to ensure sound water resource management and the reduction of water loss. This paper investigates palm yield in both drip and traditional irrigation methods. So, the Bisaliah model and the Logit model were applied in Saravan city to evaluate palm yield and the economic factors underpinning the adoption of the drip irrigation system by farmers in this region. The results of the Bisaliah model indicated that the production yield of palms would increase by up to 28.98% by using drip irrigation compared to traditional irrigation considering no change in the consumption of inputs and by up to 5.35% versus the status quo taking changes in the use of inputs into account. Using drip irrigation in orchards and vineyards may cause a 38.54% increase in yield. The results of the Logit model revealed that farmer age, the number of family laborers, and the availability of water had negative impacts on the adoption of drip irrigation. Therefore, it is recommended that the results of this study be taken into consideration by planners to improve date production using irrigation technology.
