Background Traditional agro-systems in arid areas are a bulwark for preserving soil stability
and fertility, in the sight of “reverse desertification”. Nevertheless, the impact of desert …

Levels of abortion of reproductive organs (ie, buds, flowers, and young fruits) in sweet
pepper plants (Capsicum annuum L.) are high, and cyclical fluctuations occur in fruit set …

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of water stress on yield and various
physiological parameters including crop water stress index for drip and furrow irrigated …

Low soil water availability is the major environmental factor limiting plant growth and yield.
The objective of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms underlying photosynthesis …

A study was conducted to analyse the physiological response of red pepper (Capsicum
annuum L.) to different irrigation regimes by means of periodical measurements of leaf water …

Water scarcity is seriously affecting agricultural production, especially in arid and semi-arid
areas. Therefore, there is increasing interest in improving water productivity in agriculture …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of drip irrigation level on plant
growth, physiology, and fruit yield and quality in bell pepper. Bell pepper ('Aristotle') was …

Capsaicinoids are the alkaloids in hot pepper that cause the sensation of heat when eaten
and are affected by a genetic and environment interaction. Drought stress is well recognized …

Purpose Drought and waterlogging are one of the most severe abiotic stresses towards
plant growth and development. The experiment was implemented in the Isfahan University …

A two-year field experiment was conducted with drip irrigation and plastic mulch to
