- Intervention effect fruit yield decreased with salinity.
- Intervention effect Si partially restored biomass at 20 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Si partially restored yield at 20 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Shoot and root K decreased with salinity.
- Intervention effect Supplementary Si restored K at 60 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Root and shoot Si was unaffected by NaCl or Si.
- Observation Shoot Na increased.
- Intervention effect Si treatment lowered shoot Na concentration by 19% at 20 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Si treatment lowered shoot Na concentration by 32% at 60 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Silicon partly alleviated salinity-caused K/Na imbalance.
- Association Higher shoot K/Na and Ca/Na balances correlated with higher shoot biomass.
- Intervention effect Supplemental Si increased peroxidase activity by 80% at 60 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Supplemental Si increased proline by 80% at 60 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Si partly restored fruit yield under moderate salinity.
- Mechanism The yield recovery was attributed to increased root Na exclusion, lower shoot Na and improved K, Ca and K/Na balance.
- Association Improved ion balance correlated with greater shoot growth, POD activity and proline concentration.
