Kit for Demonstrating Root Pressure Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Kit for Demonstrating Root Pressure (Product Code: SCL225/013) is a plant physiology demonstration kit for showing root pressure, the push generated in the roots that forces water up into the stem even when the leaves are not drawing it. It helps teachers explain why sap can ooze from a freshly cut stem and how roots contribute to the upward movement of water. Like the rest of this plant physiology series, it is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Key Details

Typical Use

The usual method uses a healthy, well-watered potted plant with a soft stem. The stem is cut a short distance above the soil, a tube is attached firmly to the stump, and a little water is added so the starting level can be marked. Over the following hours the level rises as the roots push sap upward, giving students direct evidence of root pressure.

Watering the pot thoroughly beforehand and keeping it in a warm room helps the effect appear sooner. Linking the result to transpiration and osmosis gives a complete picture of water transport and makes the kit useful plant biology lab equipment for practical assessment. Please contact us for the exact contents of this kit before planning your practical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What parts does the root pressure kit include?
Its parts are not listed on this page. Send a request through the contact page and we will list them for you with the quotation.

Which plant suits this demonstration?
A healthy, soft-stemmed potted plant that has been watered well; woody stems show the effect far less clearly.

How soon does the water level rise?
Usually over a few hours, and faster in warm conditions with moist soil. Setting it up early in the day gives time to observe within school hours.

Is there an alternative with a published parts list?
Yes, the Root Pressure Apparatus is a borosilicate glass set-up whose parts are described on its page.

What warranty applies?
Warranty terms are confirmed in the quotation; ask us if you need them in writing before ordering.

Do you supply schools abroad?
Yes. We supply schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets.
