“pomegranates (Wonderful cv) were considerably impacted by the application of calcium and potassium silicate as foliar treatments, as well as their interaction, leading to increases in chemical components, yield, and vegetative growth. These enhancements led to notable improvements in most measured parameters, including leaf nitrogen content (2.083%), calcium (0.889%), and potassium (0.990%)”
