The effects produced by water stress and three relative humidity (R.H) levels (3q-53%, 5461% & 62-82%) were measured on photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate. Stomatal opening and density were measured in stressed and non stressed plants of plantain (Dominico-Harton) and ora...

Efectos fisiológicos del estrés hídrico sobre varias especies vegetales. II. Naranja y plátano
A two-year field trial was conducted to study the effects of prolonged water stress on cassava (Manihot esculenta) productivity, and on nutrient uptake and use efficiency. Four contrasting cultivars were supplied with adequate fertilization and watering, except when water was excluded by covering...
