Abstract

Field studies were conducted to determine the influence of carbonated irrigation water on bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) yield, plant nutrient status, canopy carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration, and soil pH. Marketable yield, early yield, marketable fruit size distribution, and plant nutrient status were unaffected by carbonated irrigation water. Air CO₂ concentration in the lowest portion of the canopy increased during irrigation events, but returned to the ambient CO₂ concentration shortly after irrigation ceased. The effect of carbonated irrigation water on soil pH was marginal and unpredictable.
