Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Silicon concentration up to 1780 μM had no detrimental effect on sorghum dry matter yields.
- Intervention effect At 2670 and 3560 μM Si, shoot dry matter yield of sorghum decreased.
- Intervention effect At 2670 and 3560 μM Si, root dry matter yield of sorghum did not decrease.
- Observation Sorghum grown with 3600, 5400 and 7200 μM Mn showed marked visual toxicity symptoms in shoots but no effects on roots.
- Association Root dry matter yield of sorghum decreased more than shoot dry matter yield under 3600, 5400 and 7200 μM Mn.
- Intervention effect Silicon at 1780 and 3560 μM partially alleviated the toxicity symptoms and dry matter yield reductions caused by 3600 and 5400 μM Mn.
- Observation No Si level overcame the severe effects induced by 7200 μM Mn in sorghum.
- Intervention effect Silicon at 1068 μM was required to overcome the Al effect on root dry matter yield of NB9040 sorghum.
- Intervention effect Silicon at 3560 μM was required to overcome the Al effect on root dry matter yield of Martin sorghum.
- Intervention effect Added Si decreased the shoot/root dry matter ratios of sorghum that were high under toxic Mn and Al.
- Observation Silicon effects were not sufficient to completely overcome the Mn and Al toxic effects on sorghum.
