Abstract
The influence of soil and aerial environments on the growth and development of honey mesquite (Prosopis juliflora [Swartz] DC. var. glandulosa [Torr.] Cockerell) was studied under controlled environment conditions. Either low soil temperature (13 C) or cool aerial environments (11-25 C) retarded shoot growth; however, maximum shoot growth occurred as a result of an interaction of optimum soil temperature (29 C) and moderate aerial environment (20.9 mm Hg vapor pressure deficit). The efficiency of shoot growth with respect to water use is maximum at 29 C soil temperature and with a vapor pressure deficit regime of 7.3 mm Hg, the latter being well below the optimum aerial environment for maximum growth.
