Abstract

Abstract Tandem selected 20 superior accessions of black pepper having better yield and biotic stress tolerance wereevaluated for drought response along with drought tolerant black pepper variety, Panniyur-5 under controlledcondition. Physiological responses of accessions were evaluated under 5 and 10 days of drought induction.Accessions did not differ for physiological parameters under field capacity without stress. All the physiologicalparameters except leaf temperature got reduced continuously at fifth and tenth days of drought induction.More than 50 per cent reduction was observed for mean value for photosynthesis, stomatal conductance,chlorophyll content and chlorophyll stability index after 10 days of drought induction. The accessions IC598869 and IC 598890 ranked better than the drought tolerant variety P5, can be tested further for yield andother attributes to release as a variety.
