How Water Stress Affects Pepper Plant Growth

Scientists wanted to understand how water shortages impact pepper plant growth. They ran experiments with different water levels (ranging from 45 to 85%) and exposure times (2 to 8 days). They tracked how quickly plants developed, how much they were affected by light and heat (TEP), and the total growing days (GDD). They found that mild water stress sped up growth, w...
