dc.description.abstract	The effects of moisture and mycorrhizal inoculation on stomatal conductance and xylem pressure potential of Faidherbia albida (Del.) A. Chev. were investigated in the semi arid environment of Sokoto, Nigeria. A complete randomized block design with five replications and factorical combination of three watering regimes (daily for unstressed pla nt, twice weekly for partially stressed plants and once a week for moisture stressed plants) and three mycorr hizal treatments namely; endomycorrhizal plants, ectomycorrhizal plants and non mycorrhizal plants w ere used. Both the ecto and endo mycorrhizae significantly (P<0.05)affected the Stomatal Conduct ance and Xylem Pressure Potential of the plant even under stressed conditions. The use of mycorrhiza is thus recommended as a strategy for efficient water utilization and water conservation.	en_US
