- Intervention effect Potassium deficiency decreased maize nutrient use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Potassium deficiency decreased maize net photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Potassium deficiency decreased maize biomass.
- Intervention effect Silicon increased C, N and P accumulation in K-deficient maize.
- Intervention effect Silicon increased nutrient uptake, translocation and use efficiencies.
- Intervention effect Silicon increased net photosynthesis in K-deficient maize.
- Intervention effect Silicon increased dry matter production in K-deficient maize.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that 56.17 mg L −1 silicon can alleviate low nutritional efficiency caused by K deficiency.
