I recently read a book, Botany for Gardners. In it I found information on how much a corn plant typical transpires in a given season. This got me to thinking about other plants. The book stated that a single corn plant will transpire 55 gallons of water throughout a growing season. In other words, seedling to harvest. In a typical growing season of 130 days, that translates to about 2.4 gal/day. Seems like a lot of water. Does anyone know if this kind of information exists for other plants?
