Item Plant-water status and grain yield of maize (zea mays l) in relation to soil water status at Morogoro, Tanzania.(Sokoine University of Agriculture, 1987) Rwehumbiza,Filbert Bartazar RwabulalaAnalysis was made of reference crop evapotranspiration (Eto) and rainfall (R) data on a 10-day basis over a 10-year period (1973/74 - 1982/83).On the average, ETo exceeds R during the entire short rain season thus making production of crops other than those tolerant to water stress a risky undertaking.The effects of soil water holding capacity (WHC), cultivars,and water regimes on soil ~ and plant - water status, growth, grain yield and yield components of maize (Zea mays L) were identified.The study was conducted during short rains on two soils (both Ferralsols) one x
