Some aspects of water relations and dry matter production of coffea arabica l. in Kenya
Abstract
Field and greenhouse studies were carried out to understand
some aspects of water relations and dry matter production in
Coffea Arabica L. Leaf water potential was found to be the
most suitable technique for expressing internal water balance.
The leaf water potential at which important plant processes
start getting limited was found to be -20 bar. It has therefore,
been suggested that this is the time when coffee should be
irrigated
