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

<p>Statistical significance (Student's t-test) for the differences between control and drought treatments is indicated as follows: P<0.05*; P<0.01**. The means represent 6 replications ±/S.E.</p><p>Abbreviations: 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).</p><p>Growth and biomass characteristics of cacao genotypes subjected to two water regimes.
