Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Pb and Cu accumulated in tomato organs to hazardous levels, in the organ order reported.
- Association Heavy metal (Pb and Cu) accumulation reduced tomato plant growth, fruit yield and fruit quality.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon enhanced plant height, dry weight and total chlorophyll of tomato.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon enhanced the number of fruits per plant and total yield per feddan of tomato.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon enhanced Vitamin C, acidity and TSS of tomato fruit.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon enhanced the taste index of tomato.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon reduced Pb and Cu concentrations in different tomato plant organs.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon reduced bio-concentration factor and translocation factor of Pb and Cu in tomato.
- Association Fruit yield of tomato was negatively correlated with the BCF of Pb or Cu.
- Intervention effect Si + FYM + T. treatment was superior in these respects to the other treatments.
- Intervention effect Si + FYM + T. treatment increased the net return.
