Abstract: Biomass accumulation may affect the carbon status of developing seedling through shift in photosynthesis “source” relative to the respiratory “sink” within the plants. This study investigated the influence of biomass accumulation under different light intensities (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) and soil textural classes (clay, sandyloam, sandy, loamysand and loamy). The study was conducted in a 4 X 5 factorial experiment in Completely Randomized Design (CRD).
