\(\Huge{\red{\underline{\textsf{Transpiration\::-}}}}\)
◓ Loss of water in the form of water vapour from the aerial part of the plants is called as transpiration.
◓ Process of transpiration is essential evil by Curtis. Process of transpiration is unavoidable by stewards.
◓ As a result of transpiration process cooling effect is produced on the surface of leaf.
\(\large{\underline{\boxed{\gray{\bf Stomatal\:Index = \dfrac{S}{S + E}\times 100 \%}}}}\)
where S = number of stomata per unit area.
E = Epidermal cells per unit area.
◓ Transpiration has been classified into 3 types. Based on position where maximum amount of \(\sf H_2\)O
O is lost :-
- (a) Stomatal transpiration (90%)
- (b) Cuticular transpiration (9%)
- (c) Lenticular transpiration (1%)
