Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of water stress at different growth stages on processing pepper yield water use and quality characteristics at Büyük Menderes Plain in Turkey. The experiment was set up in Randomized Block Design with six treatments and three replications during the years of 2001 and 2002. In the trials irrigation treatments employed single water stress at flowering, fruit formation, yellow fruit formation, beginning of the red ripening and ripening stages. Results of this two years study shows that different irrigation treatments significantly affected yield and quality parameters. The highest irrigation water was applied to the full irrigation (T1- 100%) treatment. The highest pepper yield was obtained from full irrigation (T1-100%) treatment. Irrigation Water Use Efficiency ( IWUE ) and Water Use Efficiency (WUE) were varied from 4.13-6.66 to 3.15-5.12 kg/da-mm, respectively for treatments. The period most sensitive to water stress was flowering stage. The yield response factor ( ky ) was found to be 1.14 for the total growing season.
