3.6. Recommendation
DEFICIT
Based on the study and the results obtained on yield, yield components, and water productivity of pepper, the following important recommendations were made:❖ To achieve maximum mareko fana pepper yield in areas where water was not scarce, applying full irrigation throughout the whole growing season under in line drip irrigation system was recommended.❖ Even if difficult to get a specific threshold value of the area, based on yield reduction 30% deficit saved water 33.4% and produced 74.48% of yield. For water stressed conditions recommended to use 30% deficit for maximum deficit levels.❖ Deficit intervals did not possible to locate the threshold value. This point may be located when similar studies at smaller deficit levels were employed.❖ Similar studies should be carried out with different irrigation levels of moisture stress to ascertain conclusively the influence of the same study on yields and water productivity and to get the threshold value of the area.The authors would like to thank the Ministry of Agriculture for all the necessary and available facilities, equipments’ and services delivered. Special thanks are forwarded to Alage ATVET College department of irrigation staff members who visited and assisted us during the study.
