Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Fertigated silicon decreased dry matter share.
- Intervention effect Silicon nutrition did not change leaf Mn content.
- Intervention effect Silicon nutrition increased N, P and Na concentrations.
- Intervention effect Silicon nutrition increased Fe and Si concentrations.
- Intervention effect Silicon nutrition decreased Zn and Cu levels.
- Observation Ca, Mg and K content remained relatively stable except under the most intensive silicon nutrition.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon did not change yielding, leaf number or most leaf element concentrations.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon significantly modified RWC and Cu and Na content.
- Recommendation The authors recommend silica sol in the nutrient solution to alleviate Mn stress.
