Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Dry matter yields of oilseed rape grown at 0.025 and 5.0 μg B/mL were lower than at 0.5 μg B/mL.
- Intervention effect Silicon decreased dry matter yields of oilseed rape at excessive B supply.
- Association The effect of B and Si on leaf area was similar to that on dry matter yields.
- Intervention effect Excessive B supply and B deficiency decreased the net photosynthetic rate of oilseed rape.
- Intervention effect Silicon increased the net photosynthetic rate of oilseed rape under B deficiency.
- Intervention effect Silicon had little effect on the net photosynthetic rate at normal and excessive B levels.
- Intervention effect Silicon seems to enhance B uptake and accumulation by oilseed rape under B deficiency.
- Intervention effect Silicon seems to depress B uptake by oilseed rape at normal and excessive B levels.
- Observation Si/B ratios of B1 and B2 plants were much lower than those of the culture solutions.
- Observation Si/B ratios of B3 plants were slightly higher than those of the culture solutions.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus, potassium and calcium contents of oilseed rape decreased with increasing Si at the B3 level.
- Intervention effect Magnesium contents of oilseed rape decreased with increasing Si at the B3 level.
- Intervention effect Plant nutrient contents remained relatively constant at B1 and B2 levels as Si increased.
