The glyceryl half-ester of decenylsuccinic acid (GlOSA) closes tree stomata when sprayed directly upon the undersides of leaves. Regression analysis of streamflow from two small watersheds at Coweeta showed that a 12% reduction in transpiration might be detected as a significant increase in streamflow. Two sprays of 50 pounds of GlOSA in water applied to 30 acres of one watershed from a helicopter produced little deposit on the undersides of leaves and no clear evidence of stomatal closure. Observed increases in streamflow were statistically insignificant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
