Effects of different levels of soil moisture on growth up to maturity of two cultivars of Pennisetum americanum L. i.e. Tiftlate synthate and IC-8206 were investigated in pots containing sandy clay loam soil. There were four treatments each with six replicates. The survival and appearance of plants was better in response to moderate moisture levels. This shows the sensitivity of the test cultivars to waterlogging and drought. However, variations were observed in response to these stresses. The cultivars Tiftlate synthate and IC-8206 were found to be truly drought sensitive. Both the cultivars were found to be intermediate in their tolerance to waterlogged conditions.
