  ABSTRACT: Photosynthetic rate (Pn) of plants is simultaneously affected by photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and maximum yield of primary photochemistry (Fv/Fm). In order to explore the quantitative relationship between Pn, PAR and Fv/Fm, those parameters were simultaneously measured for different plant species (maize, sunflower, daylily and alfalfa), growth stages and irrigation treatments. Results indicated that the diurnal variation of Pn had no significant correlation with that of Fv/Fm. Mean diurnal values of Pn were linearly correlated with those of Fv/Fm among the different irrigation treatments of alfalfa (p Pn and Fv/Fm only at midday (12:00 and 14:00) (p Pn and PAR × Fv/Fm (p Pn is significantly related to the photochemical energy (PAR × Fv/Fm), the light energy directly used in photochemical reactions of plants.
