Physical and histochemical properties of Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) grown under water deficit on a sandy soil

The effects of water deficit on the physical and histochemical properties of kenaf (#Hibiscus cannabinus# L.) relevant to pulp and paper production were investigated. The plants were grown on a loose-textured sandy soil in the greenhouse at CERAAS, Bambey, Senegal. Three watering regimes representing well watered control, moderate stress and severe stress were imposed on the plants. Each watering treatment was replicated four times in a completely randomized design. Holistic analysis of the physical and histochemical properties of kenaf relevant to pulp and paper production indicated that water deficit could improve the quality of pulp and paper produced from this plant.
