Zusammenfassung:Nitrogen (N) fertilization associated with planting density is a practice that can improve the physiological aspects and consequently increase the yield of a crop. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of planting density and N levels on the physiological aspects of jatropha in the 'Agreste' region of Paraiba. Treatments consisted of four planting densities (833, 1,111, 1,666 and 2,500 plants [ha.sup.-1]) representing the plots and five N doses (0, 40, 80, 120 and 180 kg [ha.sup.-1]) corresponding the subplots. The effects of treatments on C[O.sub.2] assimilation rate, internal C[O.sub.2] concentration, transpiration, stomatal conductance, water use efficiency, instantaneous carboxylation efficiency and SPAD index were analysed. Except for stomatal conductance, the other variables were influenced by the interaction between planting densities and N levels. The association of the dose of 80 kg [ha.sup.-1] with a planting density of 2,200 plants [ha.sup.-1] provided adequate conditions for the production of plants with increased photosynthetic activity and efficient use of water. Key words: Jatropha curcas gas exchange nitrogen fertilizer water use efficiency A adubacao nitrogenada associada a densidade de plantio e uma pratica que pode melhorar os aspectos fisiologicos e, consequentemente, aumentar os rendimentos de uma cultura. Deste modo o presente trabalho teve, como objetivo, avaliar os efeitos da densidade de plantio e de doses de nitrogenio nos aspectos fisiologicos do pinhao-manso, na regiao do Agreste Paraibano. Os tratamentos consistiram de quatro densidades de plantio de 833, 1.111, 1.666 e 2.500 plantas [ha.sup.-1], representando as parcelas e cinco doses de nitrogenio de 0, 40, 80, 120 e 180 kg [ha.sup.-1], representando as subparcelas. Foram analisados os efeitos sobre a taxa de assimilacao de C[O.sub.2], concentracao interna de C[O.sub.2], transpiracao, condutancia estomatica, eficiencia no uso da agua, eficiencia intrinseca da carboxilacao e indice SPAD. Exceto a condutancia estomatica, as demais variaveis foram influenciadas pela interacao entre as densidades de plantio e as doses de nitrogenio; a associacao da dose de 80 kg [ha.sup.-1] com a densidade de plantio de 2.200 plantas [ha.sup.-1] proporcionou condicoes adequadas para a obtencao de plantas com maior atividade fotossintetica e uso eficiente da agua.
