Growth and biomass characteristics of cacao genotypes subjected to two water regimes.

Statistical significance (Student's t-test) for the differences between control and drought treatments is indicated as follows: PAbbreviations: TLAP ×10−2, total leaf area per plant (m2 plant−1); LNP, leaves number per plant; ILA ×10−2, individual leaf area (m2); RDB, root dry biomass (g); SDB stem dry biomass (g); LDB, leaf dry biomass (g); SB, shoot biomass (g); TDB, total dry biomass (g); SLB, specific leaf biomass (g m−2); R/S, root/shoot ratio; PH, plant height (cm); LAR, leaf area ratio (dm2 plant−1); NAR, net assimilation rate (g dm−2 day−1); RGR, relative growth rate (g g−1 day−1); ARS, area of root system (cm2); RV, root volume (cm3); SD, stem diameter (mm).Growth and biomass characteristics of cacao genotypes subjected to two water regimes.
