Question

Plants need to be watered more often in summer. Give reason.

Answer 1

In summers, the rate of transpiration is high because of the:

1. High temperatures
2. Increased period of exposure to sun
3. Humidity in air is low
4. Wind speed is also generally more due to air being heated and rising up.

Increased rates of transpiration means that the plants lose more water and thus need to be watered more during summers.
