Abstract
Water management is the most important and difficult problems in red pepper cultivation.The water requirement of red pepper is different according to the area as well as climate condition, growth stage and soil texture. Also, the measurement of evapo-transpiration (PET) and crop coefficient (Kc) is very difficult especially in field cultivation. The average PET during 30 years of southern region of korea for the red pepper cultivation was a $2.75mm\;day^{-1}$. The water saving irrigation manual with irrigation interval and amount of irrigation according to growing season and soil texture, are developed based on the lysimeter experiments carried out by the RDA for 11 years about potential evapo-transpiration, crop coefficient for the 17 southern region of korea. The water saving irrigation manual can be used with easy to the farmer without soil sampling and any kinds of sensors measuring soil water status.
1. 우리나라 남부를 17개 지역으로 구분하여 최근 30년간의 기상자료 분석에 의한 5월~10월의 일평균 PET는 $2.75mm\;day^{-1}$ 이었다. 2. 노지재배 고추의 우리나라 남부 17개 지역별, 3개 토성 및 16개 순별, 총 816경우의 재배여건에 적합한 물 절약형 적정 관개간격 및 1회관개량을 산정하였다.
