“…In the central region of Israel (Degania), dew was registered on 50% of the nights observed, whereas on the coast the number of days with dew recorded was from 22 to 29 days per month from May to September (Duvdevani 1964). Raman et al (1973) reported estimates of dew occurrence of 80% and 10% of the year in some regions of India. Values of vertical and surface deposition of dew were similar to those reported by Lloyd (1961) in Idaho in summer, Fritschen and Doraiswamy (1973) in the north east of the United States, Raman et al (1973) in India, andSharma (1976) in the south east of Australia.…”

“…Similarly impressive are the Indian Summer Monsoon-dependent Anogeissus dhofarica (Combretaceae) forests in Dhofar region of southern Oman and Yemen (El-Sheikh, 2013;Hildebrandt and Eltahir, 2006;Kürschner et al, 2004). Dew may also play a role in maintaining plant water status through foliar uptake of moisture, which has been documented for several species in arid and humid environments (Goldsmith et al, 2013;, as well as in the reduction of transpiration rates in early morning hours (Ben-Asher et al, 2010;Raman et al, 1973;Richards, 2004). However, the significance of these mechanisms relative to water uptake in roots are controversial, especially for crop plants (Goldsmith et al, 2013).…”

“…However, the significance of these mechanisms relative to water uptake in roots are controversial, especially for crop plants (Goldsmith et al, 2013). The quantification of dew deposition amount and duration is of concern for plant disease management (Jacobs et al,1994;Pedro and Gillespie,1981;Raman et al,1973) and for estimating the potential of dew water harvesting Clus et al, 2008;Muselli et al, 2009;Sharan et al, 2007).…”

“…Dew happens in natural surfaces, especially in plant canopies, where it can be originated from two different processes: the "dew precipitation", when the condensation of vapor is originated from the immediately superior layer, adjacent to the surface, and the "dew distillation", when the condensation of vapor is originated from the soil or another leaf, being both function of the vapor pressure gradient (BURRAGE, 1972;SHARMA, 1976). However, according to RAMAN et al (1973), the condensation in the inferior leaf face is, usually, insignificant when compared with the process that promotes the condensation in the superior face of the leaves. BURRAGE (1972) and VAN DER WAL (1978) pointed out that the period during water (dew and/or rain) is present on the plants, named leaf wetness duration (LWD), is much more important than the total water amount stored by the leaves, especially regarding diseases development.…”
