Total chlorophyll increased from September to November and decreased from December to March. Since April onwards, it again increased with slight decline in June due to high temperature. Chlorophyll a/b ratio was higher than one ranging from 1.13 to 1.82. Total chlorophyll in plant was positively correlated with dry matter production (r=O.957. P<O.OO1). One year old seedlings attained total dry matter production of 82.79 g/plant. It gradually increased till August with slight decline in February. Monthly increment in dry matter produdion was recorded to be maximum (37.83 g/plant/month) in August and minimum (0 g/plant/month) in February. The average contribution of root to total dry matter production was maximum (37.86%) followed by leaves (31.18%) and stem (30.96%).Read More
