Trnaspiration, Stomatal, Behavioural and Growth of Eucalyptus Hybrid Seedlings under Different Soil

Experiments were designed to test the "Luxury consumption" of water by Eucalyptus Hybrid. The results show that under flooded condition as well as at near flood capacity. Eucalyptus hybrid transpires water contiously. Results also show that under condition of restricted soil moisture supply, controlled stomatal closure occurs leading to reduction in transpiration rate. It is concluded that groeing Eucaluptus hybrid around 15 per cent soil moisture level brings about optimal water undergo without serious reduction in dry metter production.
