Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The capacity of a solution to take the water is termed as water potential ( $\text{ψ}$ ) of the solution. Water potential is a total of the osmotic potential ( ${\text{ψ}}_{\text{s}}$), which is generally negative and the pressure potential ( ${\text{ψ}}_{\text{p}}$ ) which is generally positive).

${\text{ψ=ψ}}_{\text{s}}{\text{+ψ}}_{\text{p}}$
