Effects of Film Forming Antitranspirants on Nursery Practices

Abstract

The original purpose of this study was to further test the feasibility of using antitranspirants as a replacement for intermittent mist in the propagation of vegatative cuttings. A number of problems soon became apparent about the use of antitranspirants and serious doubt was raised about the usefulness of these coatings under any circumstances. Therefore various other experiments were attempted to study the possible use of antitranspirants in nursery practices other than propagation.
