Abstract
Preliminary observations on ecophysiology of Myrtus communis L. in cultural conditions
are reported. Responses of plants to different moisture soil conditions were observed using the
stem water potential methodology. Plants showed optimal ecophysiological behaviour under
moderate stress condition. Stress symptoms appear only with very low soil moisture content.
These first results show that this species requires only few water applications or regulated
deficit irrigation
