Observations on the growth-rate of stands of young plants of Brassica napus in a wind tunnel show that relative growth-rate rises with wind speed at low wind speeds but falls again when wind speed is further increased. A wind speed of 0.3m./sec. caused optimal growth in these experiments. Changes in relative growth-rate were small.
