In order to examine the factors affecting herbicidal injury of pepper, crop injury and growth response of 2 red pepper cultivars and 2 sweet pepper cultivars to napropamide and pendimethalin were evaluated under defferent conditions of soil texture, organic matter, soil temperature and seeding depth in the greenhouse. Growth response of 4 pepper cultivars was also examined by roos dipping to napropamide and pendimethalin. More inhibition of top leaf growth by root dipping to napropamide was occurred in red pepper cultivars than in sweet pepper cultivars. However, sweet pepper cultivars showed more severe inhibition of top leaf growth by root dipping to pendimethalin compared to red pepper cultivars. Crop injury due to napropamide and pendimethalin was more severe in sandy soil than in loam soil and this trend was more remarkably shown in sweet pepper cultivars. Crop injury due to napropamide and pendimethalin was reduced with the increase in organic matter especially in cv. Walgeykwan and cv. Orient al Pimento. As seeding depth of pepper cultivars became deeper, crop injury due to napropamide and pendimethalin was reduced in cv. Walgyekwan and cv. Oriental Pimento.
