  Poster 9.1: The use of molasses to improve the fermentation of low-dry-matter Kikuyu grass silages - John W. Piltz, ...
Production of wilted silages is often difficult due to wet weather during summer and autumn, the periods of maximum growth of Kikuyu pastures and when surplus material is available for conservation.
After each wilting interval, mown Kikuyu was collected and manually fed through a precision-chop forage harvester, and approximately 3 to 10 kg batches of fresh forage were ensiled in small plastic bag mini-silos (three units per treatment).
In general, silage fermentation characteristics were either poorer or unaffected as a result of the slow wilt treatment compared to the fast wilt.

 Oak Wilt
The initial symptoms of oak wilt are easily identified in red oaks by the rapid wilting of the leaves in the upper crown of the tree.
Also, when oak wilt symptoms are first noticed in red oaks, the fungus has already spread throughout the tree and into the root system.
This wilting is the result of the water conducting vessesls within the tree becoming plugged; the trees' effort to stop the oak wilt fungus.

When the soil is mixed, the wilting point of some layers may change due to mixing of the soil particles.
Wilting point, field capacity, and porosity are used extensively in the model as standards against which to compare the soil's current water content.

 Pedotransfer function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They determined the wilting coefficient, which is defined as percentage water content of a soil when the plants growing in that soil are first reduced to a wilted condition from which they cannot recover in an approximately saturated atmosphere without the addition of water to the soil, as a function of particle-size:
Wilting coefficient = 0.01 sand + 0.12 silt + 0.57 clay
With the introduction of the field capacity (FC) and permanent wilting point (PWP) concepts by Frank Veihmeyer and Arthur Hendricksen (1927), research during the period 1950-1980 attempted to correlate particle-size distribution, bulk density and organic matter content with water content at field capacity (FC), permanent wilting point (PWP), and available water capacity (AWC).

 Florinet Floriculture -- Xanthomonas campestris pv. pelargonii vs. Ralstonia solanacearum.
With SBW the wilting of the infected geranium tends to be systematic.
The wilting starts at the lower leaves and petioles and works it's way up the entire plant, older leaves first and younger leaves last (Figure 1).
With BB the wilting symptom is manifested in the plant in a more random fashion with some leaves at the bottom of the plant wilting at the same time as leaves at the top (Figure 3)and (Figure 4).

 Clematis Stem Problem (aka Clematis Wilt)

This clematis stem disease causes individual shoots to suddenly wilt and die, thus the moniker of clematis wilt.

 Diagnosis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The initial symptoms of the disease on tomato are wilting of the youngest leaves with slight yellowing of older leaves.
As the disease progresses, the wilting causes the plant leaves to dry and wither.
To diagnose the disease, pull plants suspected of having the disease out of the ground and look for browning of the water-conducting vascular system which is directly under the outer tissue.

However, 8 out of 9 of the flowers remained completely erect on their stems, compared to the roses in the other groups, all of which suffered some degree of drooping.

 Permanent wilting point - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Permanent wilting point or permanent wilting percentage (PWP) is defined as the soil wetness at which a plant wilts and can no longer recover its turgidity when placed in a saturated atmosphere for 12 hours.
Lyman Briggs and Homer LeRoy Shantz (1912) proposed the wilting coefficient, which is defined as the percentage water content of a soil when the plants growing in that soil are first reduced to a wilted condition from which they cannot recover in approximately saturated atmosphere without the addition of water to the soil.
Frank Veihmeyer and Arthur Hendrickson from University of California-Davis found that it is a constant (characteristic) of the soil and is independent of environmental conditions.

 Soil Management - The Soil Scientist
As water evaporates and is drawn out of soil by plants, the water content gradually declines until plants can no longer extract the small amount of remaining water held tightly to soil particles.
This remaining amount of soil water is called the wilting point.
Field capacity minus wilting point is the amount of water available to plants.

New shoots on overwatered juniper and certain Cedars often do" wilt", I've had the very same problem on various occasions when too much rain soaked the soil the juniper was growing in, I simply changed the soil formula to accomodate a better drainage and my problem was solved.
Perhaps wilting wasn't the best word, but I thought it accurately described the problem.
