Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect 2.5% Si-BC2 significantly improved shoot and root length, fresh weight and dry weight against control under both salt conditions.
- Intervention effect 2.5% Si-BC2 significantly improved spike length and fresh and dry weight compared with control.
- Intervention effect 2.5% Si-BC2 increased chlorophyll a about 18% under salt stress.
- Intervention effect 2.5% Si-BC2 increased chlorophyll b about 22% under salt stress.
- Intervention effect 2.5% Si-BC2 increased total chlorophyll about 20% under salt stress.
- Intervention effect 2.5% Si-BC2 increased carotenoids about 60% under salt stress.
- Intervention effect 2.5% Si-BC2 increased relative water contents about 58% under salt stress.
- Mechanism The authors infer that 2.5% Si-BC2 mitigates salinity through antioxidant regulation, N and K levels and gas exchange.
- Intervention effect The authors infer that 2.5% Si-BC2 decreases sodium, chloride and electrolyte leakage.
- Recommendation The authors recommend field investigations before declaring 2.5% Si-BC2 the best amendment across crops and climates.
