Abstract

Reducing rates of transpiration directly by antitranspirant sprays has obviated the need for drastically altering environmental conditions in experiments that are designed to evaluate the effects of transpiration. With this method a positive correlation between transpiration and translocation of rubidium was found for both sugar beet and bean plants. No correlation between total rubidium uptake and transpiration was found in bean plants. Such correlation was found in sugar beets despite their having been in a sugar rich status.
