Explain what would happen if: (i) Excess fertilizers are added to the soil. (ii) Silicon emulsion is applied over the surface of leaves. 

Answer»

(i) Excess fertilizers will form a hypertonic solution in the soil. Exosmosis will then occur in the root hair cells resulting in plasmolysis ultimately the plant will die due to loss of water. 

(ii) Silicon emulsion over the surface of leaves will block the stomata and hence stomatal and cuticular transpiration will be reduced.
