Deficit irrigation was tested on bell peppers in the Jordan Valley to save water while maintaining crop yield. Three irrigation levels were compared, with 80% of the water needed for the plants showing similar results to full irrigation. The best economic returns were seen in the winter season. This method can help farmers use less water without losing much produce, making agriculture more sustainable in the area.
