What is defoliation in plants
1 answer
Defoliation in plants refers to the process of removing the leaves from a plant. This can happen naturally due to factors such as weather, pests, or disease, or it can be deliberately induced for various purposes such as pruning, harvesting, or pest control. Defoliation can have negative effects on plants as it reduces their ability to photosynthesize and can weaken them, but it can also stimulate new growth and help control certain plant diseases or pests.
