- Observation Full ETc irrigation achieved water-use efficiency of 1.3 kg/m³.
- Intervention effect At 90% ETc, yields remained elevated.
- Intervention effect At 90% ETc, water-use efficiency remained elevated.
- Intervention effect The authors report no significant yield reduction under modest water stress.
- Intervention effect At 70% ETc, growth decreased markedly.
- Intervention effect At 70% ETc, yield decreased markedly.
- Intervention effect At 70% ETc, water-use efficiency decreased markedly.
- Association The initial season had superior performance, attributed to climate.
- Observation The authors identify mid-season as the period with highest water requirements.
- Recommendation The authors advocate 90% ETc irrigation for sustainable sweet pepper cultivation.
