Partial rootzone irrigation (PRI) can substantially reduce irrigation amount and has been demonstrated as a promising irrigation method for crops in arid or semiarid areas. Many earlier researches have shown that PRI reduces leaf transpiration by narrowing stomatal opening. In this study we...

A two-year field experiment was conducted with drip irrigation and plastic mulch to investigate an appropriate irrigation management strategy for chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Five treatments, with the soil matric potential (SMP) threshold range of −10 to −50kPa at intervals of 10kPa,...
