Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Increasing K2O tended to reduce six gas-exchange and efficiency measures with or without calcium silicate.
- Intervention effect 150 Kg K2O favored sweet pepper growth with calcium silicate.
- Observation The 300 kg ha-1 K2O dose with calcium silicate gave the best electrical conductivity result of 2.76 dS m-1.
- Observation The same dose gave soil silicon content of 5.70 mg kg-1.
- Observation The same dose gave 14% silicon leaf content.
- Intervention effect The 300 kg ha-1 K2O dose with calcium silicate improved photosynthesis, transpiration and water use efficiency.
- Intervention effect The 300 kg ha-1 K2O dose with calcium silicate improved fruit production.
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity reduced fruit yield with and without Si.
