- Intervention effect Silicon application significantly increased yield-attributing parameters such as plant height in wheat.
- Intervention effect Silicon at 8 g/litre gave the greatest grain and straw yields of wheat compared with 2 g/litre, 4 g/litre and control.
- Intervention effect Silicon at 8 g/litre increased the concentration and uptake of silicon, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in wheat grain and straw compared with other treatments.
- Intervention effect Silicon application at the tillering stage gave significant improvement in most yield attributes of wheat compared with the CRI and jointing stages.
- Intervention effect Silicon application at the tillering stage gave significant improvement in grain, straw and biological yields of wheat compared with the CRI and jointing stages.
