What are the parameters which control water potential ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Water potential `(Psi)` can be determined by,
(i) Solute concentration or Solute potential `(Psi_(S))`
(ii) Pressure potential `(Psi_(P))`
By correlating two factors, water potential is written as,
`Psi_(W)=Psi_(S)+Psi_(P)`
Water Potential = Solute potential + Pressure potential
