The Effects of Irrigation levels on the Yield and the Consumptive Use of Red Pepper

This study was carried out to get the basic information of irrigation plans for the red pepper, such as optimum irrigation level and irrigation requirement in Taegu and Kyungpook province. In this study, red peppers were cultivated in 6 PVC pot lysimeters filled with 60cm deep clay loam soil. Four tensiometers were installed in each plot to measure the soil water pressure head. Field measurements were made during the period June 6 to October 31, 1988 at the experimental farm of Kvungpook National University. Six levels of irrigation were used. They were PF 1.8-2.0, PF 2.2-2.4, PF 2.8-3.0, FC-PF.1.7, FC-PF 2.2, and FC-PF 2.7. The results obtained from this study are summarized as follows : 1. In case of irrigation levels of narrow ranges of water contents, the higher the soil water content was, the larger the ET was. Hut in case of the irrigation levels returning to the field capacity, the lager the PF value of irrigation point was, the larger the ET was. Considering ET, yield and weight per fruit, the latter is much better than the former irrigation method. 2. The mean daily ET and mean ET ratio for each 10-day period showed that the maximum value occured in the last of August. The ranges of those were 3.74-14.64 mm/day and 0.87-3.40, respectively. These values showed that small during the early stage of growth, large during the middle stage and getting smaller in the last stage. 3. In case of irrigation levels of narrow ranges of water contents, the increase of irrigation water supplied increased the ET. The relationship between the two showed nearly straight line. Most of irrigated water was consumed as ET and the rest as percolation. But, in case of irrigation levels returning to the field capacity, the higher the PF value of irrigation point was, the larger the ET ratio was. However, their relationship didn't show straight line. 4. The irrigation level of PC - PP 2.7 was found to be the optimum irrigation level with respect to the yield, the weight per fruit, stem length, irrigation requirement and percolation quantity. In this case, mean daily ET and mean ET ratio were 6.79 mm/day (total 10052 mm) and 1.67, respectively. The maximum mean daily ET and mean ET ratio for 10-day period were 14.64 mm/day and 3.40, respectively, in the last of August, and the maximum daily ET was 2126 mm/day on August 24. 5. In case of PC - PP 2.7 which is found the optimum irrigation level, mean irrigation water required, mean ET and mean percolation water quantity were 7.44 mm/day, 6.79 mm/day(91.3% of irrigation water), and 0.38 mm/day (5.5% of it), respectively.
