Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Water deficit reduced plant height and dry weight of alfalfa compared with full irrigation.
- Intervention effect Water deficit reduced chlorophyll a and b of alfalfa compared with full irrigation.
- Intervention effect Water deficit increased the chlorophyll a to b ratio of alfalfa compared with full irrigation.
- Intervention effect Water deficit increased superoxide dismutase and catalase activity in alfalfa compared with full irrigation.
- Intervention effect Water deficit up to 55% field capacity increased free proline, total soluble protein and peroxidase in alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Severe water stress reduced free proline, total soluble protein and peroxidase in alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Silicon application increased plant height, dry weight and soluble protein of alfalfa under water deficit.
- Intervention effect Silicon application increased three antioxidant enzymes and leaf silicon concentration of alfalfa under water deficit.
- Intervention effect The positive effect of silicon was greater at 2 mM than at 1 mM concentration.
- Intervention effect Silicon alleviation ability was greater under severe water deficit than under no or light water stress.
- Recommendation Silicon application, especially at 2 mM, can be advised to alleviate the negative impact of water deficit on alfalfa.
