Abstract
The net photosynthesis and related parameters were studied in cashew trees (Anacardium occidentale L.) grown at five plant densities. There was significantly higher photosynthesis and transpiration in wider spaced trees parallel with higher irradiances. Stomatal conductance (g) did not show significant differences between the plant densities treatments. In cashew, plant density of 625 ha1 (4x4 m) may be a threshold level for optimising productivity.
