Abstract
In foliar spray, as the solution dried up in short period, leaves can not absorb enough. We xamained water absorption through the intact leaves dipped in water. Amount of foliar absorption remarkably increased by dipping leaves in the solution as compared with spraying. Transpiration from whole and water absorption through apoplast of the intact leaves which were under water of the same plant were measured simultaneously for a whole day using salvia, cucumber and sweet potato plants. On fine day, transpiration preceded the absorption in the morning, and after the transpiration reached the maximum, followed by the absorption increase. In evening the both declined rapidly.
