Abstract
A detailed examination is presented of the microclimates of three propagation systems (mist, polyethylene tent and contact polyethylene). The relationship between the water vapour pressure difference between the leaf and the surrounding air (Δv) and incident irradiance (I) was established for each system: in all three it was approximately linear. Values of Δv at the highest measured I (300 W m-2) were c. 1.0 kPa under mist, 2.5 kPa under contact polyethylene and 4.0 kPa under polyethylene tents. The components of Δv (leaf vapour pressure and air vapour pressure) are analysed.
