Abstract

Due to the water scarcity in Iran, it is important to provide strategies to reduce water consumption in the agriculture sector. Zycosil is a nanotechnology material that makes a great hydrophobe in the soil. This study was conducted based on completely randomized block design within microlysimeter with the height of 15 cm and the diameter of 8 cm to investigate the Hydrophobic effect on the amount of consumed water in Pepper. Sweet Pepper seedlings were planted in them; then the treatments were applied. The Z25, Z50 and Z75 treatments consisted of covering 25, 50 and 75 % of the soil surface by Zycosil; these were compared with the control (Ctrl-no Zycosil application) in three replications. The results showed that Z75 treatment reduced 27% water consumption and increased the fresh Yield by approximately 62 %. The increased Yield of Z25 and Z50 was 5 and 26 %, respectively. Dry Pepper Yield was increased in Z25, Z50 and Z75 treatments by 22, 19 and 80%, respectively, as compared to Ctrl treatment. The amount of water consumed was decreased by 10 % per 25% coverage level. The least amount of Water use efficiency was observed in the control treatment (1. 28 gr/cm3). The Z75 had the highest Water use efficiency (2. 96 gr/cm3). Hence, the application of Hydrophobic material such as Zycosil in the soil surface reduced water evaporation and increased water retention. This increased the Yield and Water use efficiency.
