Thus, an exposure of honey bee colonies to neonicotinoids dissolved in guttation fluids of seed treated sugar beet is very unlikely. |
Increasing air circulation and lowering humidity will help in controlling guttation as well. |
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 exit of this xylem water, termed guttation, results in the formation of small droplets in the vicinity of the hydathodes. |
The classic example of guttation is droplets at the tip of grass leaves in the morning. |
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. |
