Factors influencing the efficiency of leaf infiltration. All the factors that determine the effectiveness of leaf infiltration can be divided into three groups: 1. Physicochemical properties of an infiltration fluid, 2. Plant and leaf individual susceptibility to infiltration called infiltrability and 3. External factors. For each of these groups, the most important examples of factors are listed. If necessary, the poor infiltrability of plants and their individual leaves can be compensated by optimizing the composition of the infiltration fluid (group 1. factors) and the conditions of the infiltration period (group 3. factors)
