The North region of Minas Gerais has a dry and hot weather wich demands efforts towards rational use of water to allow irrigated agriculture. Two new technologies were developed to simplify the irrigation called Irrigâmetro and the Intermitent Valve for Sprinklers (IVS). The Irrigâmetro makes the management of irrigation easier and the IVS besides to allow the use of irrigation by aspersion in low water and energy resources. Were aimed to determine the Irrigâmetro coefficient (KI) as well as evaluate water application efficience and the productive rate of sunflower using a special aspertion irrigation system with Intermitent Valve, during diurnal e nocturnal periods. All the experiments took place at Jaiba Irrigated Perimeter placed at 15° 36' South latitude and 43° 42' West longitude, with an elevation of 460m. The evapotranspiration reference rates were calculated by Penman-Monteith FAO 56 equation considering different timetable from INMET automatic station. The KI values were 0.42, 0.69, 0.85, 1.07, 1.34 and 1.61 for water levels of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 cm, respectively, resulting on equation with R² = 0,994. The efficiency of water application was 59% with 660mm of applied water at diurnal period and 95% with 447mm of applied water at nocturnal period of irrigation system use. There was no significant difference between irrigated sunflower production at diurnal period, and nocturnal period, mean 6.1 t ha-1 and 6.3 t ha-1, respectively.
