Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Silicon did not alter silverleaf whitefly oviposition preference.
- Intervention effect Silicon increased soybean resistance to silverleaf whitefly.
- Intervention effect Silicon decreased production of phenolic compounds.
- Intervention effect Silicon did not affect lignin production.
- Intervention effect In IAC-19, silicon increased non-protein organic nitrogen production.
- Intervention effect Silicon had no effect on vegetative development of soybean.
- Recommendation The authors conclude silicon combined with IAC-19 can significantly reduce whitefly populations.
