- Intervention effect Boron accumulation in fully developed sunflower leaves was significantly higher only at 0.5 M B.
- Observation Nutrient contents in sunflower roots were relatively constant.
- Intervention effect Accumulation of all nutrients in sunflower leaves was affected by silicon addition.
- Intervention effect Silicon addition with 0.5 M B significantly differed from 0.5 M B alone in K, Fe and Mo accumulation in sunflower.
- Observation Plant species show different responses to silicon application.
