| Abstract | ||
| During the spring season of 2022–2023, this experiment was conducted in the Government Thamar Special Farm. Three different of scheduling irrigation treatments ((b1) with 100% ETC for four days, (b2) 75% ETC for seven days and (b3) 60% ETC for ten days) were applied to two different species of sweet pepper crop, Yolo Wonder and California Wonder. Based on the data, it was found that the California Wonder cultivar produced the highest value (7.246 cm) for the pepper crop's Length recipe, while the Yolo Wonder cultivar produced the lowest value (6.759 cm). The California Wonder and Yolo Wonder are similar in terms of length, with no discernible variances in the formula. The pepper crop's diameter recipe yielded the maximum value for the California Wonder variety. Additionally, with an average pepper production of 30,070 ton/ha, the California Wonder variety outperformed the Yolo Wonder variety, which yielded a value of 29,710 ton/ha less than the average. The production of the pepper crop is not significantly different between Yolo Wonder and California Wonder. As a result, with an average of 28.362 kg/m3, the California Wonder pepper variety outperformed Yolo Wonder in terms of irrigation water use efficiency for pepper crops. Yolo Wonder's average of 27.988 kg/m3 was the lowest. The production of the pepper crop is not significantly different between Yolo Wonder and California Wonder. When it came to irrigation water use efficiency, the California Wonder pepper variety scored the highest. | ||
