Abstract:N EGYPT, water scarcity is the main problem the agricultural sector faces. Salicylic acid (SA) as a plant growth regulator may help mitigate the adverse effects of deficit irrigation water on pepper plants. Sweet pepper (cv. S702 F1) plants subjected to deficit irrigation (DI 40% = 60% of crop evapotranspiration, ETc) regularly during growth stages produced decreases in plant height, total chlorophyll, fruit number per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit volume, fruit yield, fruit carotenoids, and total… Show more
