Description Drought tolerance of black pepper varieties due to tlie accumulation of solutes was investigated. The nitrogen content increased with moderate and severe stress and maximum N content was observed in Panniyur-S and
minimum in Kumbakodi. Maximum P accumulation was observed in Poonjarmunda followed by Padarpan and Panniyur-S at severe stress. Potassium concentration was high in Poonjarmunda, Kumbakodi and Panniyur-5. The
calcium, zinc and copper content of the leaves increased due to water stress in Panniyur-5, while an increase in
magnesium content was observed in varieties Uthirankotta-2, Kumbakodi and Panniyur-5. Severe stress decreased manganese content in all the varieties except Poonjarmunda. Iron content increased due to severe stress in varieties such as Kalluvally-4, Kumbakodi and Padarpan. Among the varieties Panniyur-5 had more solute accumulation than all the tolerant varieties.
