This thesis provides necessary and complementary information for an improved understanding of jatropha growth to guide further research to evaluate the response of jatropha to abiotic stressors and for designing plantations adapted to the plants? requirements. Given the fact that jatropha is claimed to grow on marginal lands, we studied effects of water supply, salt stress, nitrogen and air humidity as major abiotic stressors on gas exchange parameters and biomass production followed by management options for pruning the trees to positively influence biomass productivity and to contribute to optimize resource use. The effects of water availability (rainfed versus irrigated) on growth and gas exchange parameters were investigated for 4-year ...
