Abstract: Silicone and latex coatings applied to leaves have been used by other workers for the purpose of reducing transpiration of plants. The use of similar leaf coatings was studied by the authors for the purpose of reducing foliar chloride uptake from brackish water used for sprinkler irrigation. Significant reductions in foliar chloride uptake during sprinkling with NaCl solution were obtained by coating citrus leaves with acrylic polymer latex. The use of silicones to reduce foliar chloride uptake was not successful.
