As paprika plants grew in a glass greenhouse from November 2022 to March 2023, the amount of light at each plant height, leaf temperature, transpiration rate, and water vapor pressure were measured. Accumulated leaf temperature was higher at the top of the plant than at the bottom. Over time, the leaf temperature measured around 11-13 AM changed from 26.55→23.21→22.80→26.67℃ in the lower part (pL), and from 26.52→24.48→24.55→27.78℃ in the upper part (pAs). And VPD changed from 1.45→0.94→0.74→1.46kPa in pL and from 1.11→0.86→0.71→1.28kPa in pAs. Accordingly, the transpiration rate changed from 4.25→0.17→4.08→0.52mmol·m^-2·s^-1 in pL, 7.61→2.45→1.94→4.39→0.52mmol·m^-2·s^-1 in pAs, and from pAs to pL. It was significantly higher than The difference between the lower and upper parts (pL-pAs) was higher in pAs than pL in leaf temperature, light intensity, and transpiration rate, but the water vapor pressure difference was higher in pL. In this way, paprika shows differences in the environment and photosynthetic factors between the upper and lower parts during the cultivation period, so it is judged that this needs to be taken into consideration in future research.

Paprika productivity is different even in the same quality greenhouse and in the same region. These differences are known to due to differences in various environmental factors. This study was conducted to investigate the difference in the level of various environmental factors between high-productivity (HPF) and low-productivity (LPF) greenhouses. The largest difference between the two greenhouses in the daily or weekly average values of major environmental factors was the CO₂ concentration, but the LPF was higher than the HPF, so it was not determined as a factor for the difference in productivity. Correlation analysis among 14 environmental factors showed a high correlation among irradiation or related factors in moisture. The regression coefficients of the linear regression model between vapor pressure deficit and relative humidity were -0.0202kpa in HPF and -0.0262kpa in LPF. In particular, in February and March, the vapor pressure deficit in LPF was 1.5kpa or more, and the cumulative vapor pressure deficit compared to the cumulative irradiation at the early period of cultivation increased rapidly. The reason for the low productivity in LPF is thought to be that the plant was affected by moisture stress due to high vapor pressure deficit and transpiration under low irradiation conditions in the early period of cultivation and in winter.
