| Many plants undergo a process of guttation at night to force out drops of excess water through special pores on their leaf edges and tips. |
|
| The classic example of guttation is droplets at the tip of grass leaves in the morning. |
|
| Following these methods will spread the concentrated dew or guttation over a larger surface area, causing the turf canopy to dry faster. |
|
| The exit of this xylem water, termed guttation, results in the formation of small droplets in the vicinity of the hydathodes. |
|
| Increasing air circulation and lowering humidity will help in controlling guttation as well. |
|
| However, nutrient losses through guttation at times may be of sufficient magnitude to alter markedly the behavior of the plant. |
|
| Thus, an exposure of honey bee colonies to neonicotinoids dissolved in guttation fluids of seed treated sugar beet is very unlikely. |
|
| These infections are usually triggered by guttation, or where leaves at the top of the canopy are exposed to dripping water from condensation or roof sprinklers. |
|
| Therefore, we concluded that guttation fluids from seed treated sugar beet might not be a preferred water source for water foraging bees. |
|
| However, we demonstrated that the occurrence of guttation in sugar beet was very rare especially compared to the occurrence of guttation in the vegetation adjacent to sugar beet fields or the occurrence of dew. |
|
| Of particular interest is the fact that the variation in color of guttation fluids caused by the presence of different species of fungi therein provides a useful tool for taxonomic classification of certain fungi. |
|
| Little is known about the likelihood of occurrence of guttation fluids in sugar beet, and the extent to which its occurrence is related to weather conditions. |
