The objective of this study was to perform a diagnostic analysis of water supplementation for banana crops (Musa spp.) planted at the Araguaia Agroecological Center (CEAGRO/IFPA). The evaluated area, covering 0.4 ha, had a spacing of 3 x 3 m and 476 adult plants, distributed across 14 rows. Based on the diagnosis of water requirements and available infrastructure, a micro-sprinkler irrigation system was designed using MF2 emitters (Amanco), with a flow rate of 76 L/h and a radius of 4.5 m. The design included division into two independent sectors and the installation of 119 emitters, seeking greater efficiency and reduced water losses. Irrigation management will be based on meteorological data to calculate ETO and ETC. The adoption of the system aims to boost productivity, ensure water regularity, and meet the crop's demand at different phenological stages.
