| Abstract | This study was conducted to determine the seasonal water requirement of pepper, the crop coefficient under full water requirement as well as the effect of deficit irrigation on pepper growth and development under a rain shelter. The treatments imposed were T1, application of 100% crop water requirement, T2, was 80%, T3 60% and T4 40 % of crop water requirement. It was determined that pepper requires about 587.48mm of water over the growth season. The crop coefficient under full water supply was found to be: 0.47, 0.86, 1.42 and 0.91 for initial, development, mid-season and the late season stages, respectively. The study also revealed that reduction in 20% water need of hot pepper has no significant effect on growth, development and fruiting of the crop. |
