- Intervention effect Potassium silicate at 4000ppm gave the highest growth traits and chlorophyll at 120 days.
- Intervention effect Potassium silicate at 4000 ppm gave the highest total yield.
- Intervention effect Potassium silicate at 4000 ppm gave the highest bulb quality traits.
- Intervention effect Potassium silicate at 6000ppm increased leaf K percentage significantly.
- Intervention effect All potassium silicate treatments raised silicon percentage over control.
- Intervention effect The 8000ppm foliar treatment plus chitosan in storage minimized bulb weight loss and shrinking after seven months.
- Intervention effect At seven months, 4000 ppm potassium silicate plus sodium silicate gave the highest soluble solids.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 4000ppm foliar potassium silicate for growth, yield and quality.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 8000ppm foliar potassium silicate with chitosan for seven-month storage.
