Demre Sivri, Dogal Sarı Sivri and Dogal Carliston pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) species were used as test plants in the study. The research was carried out in a total of 9 plots with 3 replications according to the randomized blocks experimental design. Seeds were made into seedlings by regularly watering for about 60 days in the prepared peat and perlite mixture (1:1 V/V) in viols and planting was carried out in the greenhouse environment when they had 3-4 leaves. Irrigation processes in the research were carried out by drip irrigation method, and irrigation was carried out every 3 days during the 20 days period from planting to 7 leaves of pepper plants. In other processes, irrigation was done every 2 days until the plants were harvested. Considering the results of soil analysis in the research, fertilization was done by fertigation method (fertilization with drip irrigation) for pepper purely at 20 kg N da-1, 6 kg P2O5 da-1, 20 kg K2O da-1. In the study, nitrogen (N) ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4, phosphorus (P) MKP (monopotassiumphosphate) and potassium (K) potassium nitrate (KNO3) forms were applied. N, P, K, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn) and copper (Cu) analyzes were made in the leaf samples taken when the pepper plant reached half of the fruit size and yield were determined. According to the results of the research, Dogal Carliston stood out in the first year in terms of yield (2987 kg da-1), while Demre Sivri (2788 kg da-1) gave the highest yield in the second year.
