Destarching occurs when part of a plant is "deprived of starch, as by translocation". It is also the process of eliminating starch reserves in a plant for experiments

Why to destarch a plant?

a leaf (plant) should be destarched before photosynthesis investigations because the starch already present in the plant may mislead the result . hence if a destarched plant is used for the experiment then the amount of starch present at the time of the experiment will be nil and affter the experiment is compleded the amount of starch present in the leaves woul give the rate of photodynthesis as starch id prepared during photosynthesis


Why is it important to destarch a potted plant?

Destarching a potted plant is important because it helps to remove excess starch accumulated in the plant's tissues, which can interfere with the plant's growth and development. By destarching, you encourage the plant to utilize its stored energy more effectively, promoting healthier growth and better nutrient absorption. This process is particularly beneficial before conducting experiments or assessments on the plant's photosynthesis and metabolic activities. Ultimately, it ensures that the plant's energy is directed towards current physiological processes rather than relying on old reserves.
