Photosynthetic Light Intensity Responsive Curve of Mango cv. Alphonso under Man-Made Light Source

Abstract

The research project entitled “Study of Photosynthetic Light Intensity Responsive Curve of Mango Cv. Alphonso under Man-Made Light Source. All physiological process required optimum light conditions. The amount of photosynthesis efficiency depends upon the light intensity levels. Treatment details were 100 pfd, 250 pfd, 500 pfd, 750 pfd, 1000 pfd, 1250 pfd, 1500 pfd, 1750 pfd and 2000 pfd with four replications were made. The obtained results were the saturation point in the photosynthetic light intensity responsive curve of mango Cv. Alphonso was in between 750 - 1000 pfd. The maximum rate of physiological activities were higher in this saturation point (i.e. photosynthesis, transpiration and stomatal conductance rate).
