Abstract: A sand culture experiment with a split design was conducted to study the responses of seedlings of five Camellia oleifera clones under three levels of P stress(P0(0 mmol/L), P1(0.05 mmol/L), P2(0.5 mmol/L)). The results showed that five clones were significantly different in tolerance to low phosphorus stress. With low P stress exacerbating, the biomass and the N and P absorption of tested clones decreased, whereas the nutrient utilization efficiency increased. In low P and P deficiency treatments, the biomass and the P absorption and utilization efficiency of Xianglin67 and Xianglin69 were higher. Leaf(N/P)and leaf Δ(N/P)ratio were lower. There were better phosphorus nutrient recycling mechanism in Xianglin67 and Xianglin69.Those clones could be considered to be excellent low P stress resistant clones.
