Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Wheat landraces differed significantly and consistently in Si accumulation.
- Intervention effect Si marginally improved growth of high Si accumulator landraces during osmotic stress.
- Intervention effect Si had no significant effect on growth of wheat landraces during drought stress.
- Intervention effect Osmotic stress decreased Si accumulation in all wheat landraces.
- Recommendation Application of Si fertiliser for agricultural drought stress requires detailed understanding of genotype-specific responses to Si.
