Abstract

The general principles governing the application of antitranspirants are reviewed and results of research work with an antitranspirants on sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata Sturt.) carried out in the Faculty of Agriculture, University of the West Indies, are discussed. Phenylmercuric acetate (PHA) and Vaporgard are identified as two promising chemicals for use in sweet corn production under dry Trinidad conditions.
