Abstract

Studies on the relationship between total nonstructural carbohydrate and total nitrogen in leaves of rambutan (Nephelium Lappaceum L. cv. Rong Rian) and climatic factors were conducted at Amphoe Khao Saming. Trat Province during November 1987 – January 1988. The results showed that, during the period of water stress (after rainy season), total nonstructural carbohydrate contents in leaves was found to increase until flower bud initiation on the middle of January. Total nitrogen contents seemed to accumulate slowly under water stress condition. However, C/N ratio was increased before flowering period and flower bud initiation was found at the C/N ratio 4.5-4.6
