Abstract

The response of sago palm under water deficiency conditions was determined. Results showed that plants which watered at 7 days interval gave low leaf water potential which resulted in low water content in the roots and plants. There was not affected on the growth of sago palm as determined by plant height, leaf number, green value of leaf (SPAD), chlorophyll concentration, leaf dry weight and dry weight of whole plant. The concentration of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium in leaves of plants treated with water deficiency treatment did not differed in comparison to the plants treated with the normal water supply treatments.
