| description | The influence of high and reduced water availability on the changes in foliar spectral reflectance and chlorophyll of J. curcas were investigated. The field
experiment conducted was based on a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments replicated three times. Each replicate consisted of two plants with a total of 24 plants altogether. Treatments were: (i) Rainfed (W0)
– plants were watered at field capacity > -0.03 MPa, (ii) Mild water stress (W1) – watering was carried out to maintain soil water potential between - 0.30 and -0.10 MPa, (iii) Moderate water stress (W2) – watering was carried out to maintain soil water potential between -1.0 and -0.8 MPa, and (iv) extreme water stress (W3) – plants were grown at soil permanent wilt point <-1.50 MPa. The well-watered plants responded by showing significantly (p <0.05) better height growth. Result shows mean reflectance spectra increased with increasing water stress. As water stress indicator, foliar spectral analysis showed high reflectance which was primarily attributed to a 41 % reduction in chlorophyll concentration. The percentage reflectance at 550 (R550),
structure independent pigment index (SIPI), and photochemical reflectance index (PRI) showed a strong relationship with foliar chlorophyll content (SPAD). These results suggested that well-watered plants at soil water field capacity (-0.03 MPa) showed greener and healthier leaf growth compared to that of the water-stressed plants |
