Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Silicon supply advanced initial seed emergence by two days.
- Intervention effect Silicon supply shortened emergence duration.
- Intervention effect Silicon supply increased total seedling rate and seedling survival rate.
- Association Total emergence and seedling survival rose significantly with Si supply.
- Observation Fescue seedlings died without silicon addition.
- Intervention effect Silicon supply did not affect leaf width.
- Intervention effect Silicon supply increased plant biomass.
- Intervention effect Low silicon supply mainly contributed to shoot growth.
- Intervention effect High silicon supply mainly contributed to root growth.
- Observation Shoot growth was more sensitive to silicon than root growth.
- Association Silicon content in roots and shoots increased with silicon concentration and remained below 3.0%.
- Observation Root silicon content was double shoot silicon content.
- Recommendation The authors suggest silicon supply improves tall fescue suitability in saline soil.
