Water usage at different growth stages of snap beans grown under two fertilizer regimes

<p>In actively growing plants all life processes take place in the presence of water. For every gram of dry matter produced several hundred grams of water pass through the plant and are lost into the atmosphere from plant surfaces by transpiration. Because of this loss of water, a large amount...
