Title Of Article :
Estimation of Growth Curve Parameters for Pepper (Capsicum annuum cv. Kapija) Under Deficit Irrigation Conditions
Abstract :
This study was conducted to estimate growth curve parameters for pepper (Capsicum annuum cv. Kapija) by using different growth curve models under deficit irrigation conditions. Plant height, plant x-x and y-y diameter and chlorophyll readings (ChRs) were measured to estimate plant growth during 12 weeks. Use of Linear, Gompertz and Logistic models for plant height and diameter, and the linear, W(t)=A.t^Bexp(-k.t), W(t)=A(1-B^t) models for ChRs were found to be best for pepper under deficit irrigation. R2 values for x-x and y-y diameters were in between 99.1% and 99.9%, and for ChRs 38.8-82.8%. Since ChRs values were not continually increased throughout the growth period, R2 values for ChRs were less than other models.
