You will create a soil moisture deficit as more water is being lost from the soil than is entering it. This will increase soil suction, which will make it more difficult for plant roots to take up water (this will reduce transpiration) and can effect plant growth. Plant may respond by closing the stoma on their leaves to reduce transpiration to prevent this.

If however the pore water suction continues to increase it may exceed the permanent wilting point of the plant which can ultimately result in the plant dying.

If transpiration rate is greater than absorption rate, the plant may experience water stress leading to wilting, reduced growth, and potentially death. This imbalance can disrupt the plant's ability to maintain turgor pressure and nutrient uptake, ultimately impacting its overall health and productivity.
