Abstract: It is well known that the development of water-saving agriculture is a strategic choice for getting rid of the crisis of water shortage.In this paper, the crop photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatic behavior, and their affecting factors were studied in view of increasing the crop water use efficiency.The experimental results showed that there was a parabola relationship between photosynthesis and transpiration.The transpiration at the maximum photosynthesis was a critical value, above which, transpiration was the luxurious part.The luxurious transpiration could be controlled without affecting photosynthetic production.It is possible that the measures for increasing stomatic resistance and preventing transpiration could save water, and improve photosynthesis and yield as well.The photosynthesis rate increased with photosynthetic active radiation, and the light saturation point for photosynthesis existed.The light saturation point of dry treatment was much lower than that of wet treatment, and the relationship between transpiration and radiation was linear.When the photosynthetic active radiation was bigger than 1000 μmol·m^-2·s^-1, some treatments could be carried out for decreasing transpiration and improving photosynthesis.
