Antitranspirants
Antitranspirant coatings made from very dilute mixtures of polymers and water are sometimes sprayed onto foliage to prevent water loss.
Antitranspirants: Chemical antitranspirants effectively cover the stomata, the pores through which the leaves loose moisture.
Antitranspirants can help reduce the water loss from tree foliage. The most common forms are film formers, which are sprayed as a mist on the leaves, lightly coating them with a waxy or oily substance, reducing transpiration.
