Abstract
Water consumption of protected cultivated sweet pepper, drip irrigated, is evaluated by various methods.
Evaporation measurements of a "Class A" pan located in plastic tunnels give the best evaluation.
The "Class A" pan coefficient (Kp) to use in these conditions seems higher than generally proposed.
A water regime which gives a slight water excess with regard to consumption measured at the lysimeter gave best production.
Local ETp is largely reduced by the plastic tunnels.
