Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Excess zinc significantly reduced shoot and root biomass.
- Intervention effect Soil silicon significantly increased organ biomass under zinc stress.
- Intervention effect Zinc contamination greatly increased zinc in shoots and roots.
- Intervention effect Soil silicon significantly decreased zinc in shoots and roots.
- Observation Sodium silicate raised soil pH and contributed to decreased plant zinc.
- Intervention effect Soil silicon increased shoot silicon content relative to control.
- Intervention effect Only the higher foliar silicon dose raised silicon concentration in plants.
- Intervention effect Soil silicon reduced zinc transfer from roots to shoots compared with foliar application.
