Effect of Fatty Alcohol on Evaporation and Transpiration¹

Synopsis: Total water usage, evaporation, and plant growth were reduced. Transpiration was reduced by the first increment of fatty alcohol, due to decreased plant growth, but no further change occurred with additional increments. All treatments required the same amount of transpiration water to produce one gram of oven-dry material. Total water usage per gram of material actually increased with the addition of alcohol because plant growth was decreased proportionately more than transpiration.
