- Intervention effect Saline irrigation increased soil EC and soluble sodium and chloride contents.
- Association Wheat dry weight decreased significantly as irrigation salinity increased.
- Intervention effect At 12 dS m-1 salinity, 1 mmol L-1 foliar silicon increased wheat grain dry weight by about 22.5% relative to no silicon.
- Intervention effect At 12 dS m-1 salinity, 1 mmol L-1 foliar silicon increased wheat straw dry weight by about 21.4% relative to no silicon.
- Association Wheat N, P and K contents declined with increasing irrigation salinity.
- Association Wheat sodium and proline contents increased with irrigation salinity.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon increased wheat N, P, K and proline contents relative to control across salinity levels.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon reduced wheat sodium content relative to control across salinity levels.
- Mechanism Silicon may increase wheat salinity tolerance through increased K uptake and reduced Na uptake, adjusting osmotic pressure and nutrient uptake.
- Mechanism Silicon-induced proline accumulation may buffer osmotic imbalance or protect cytoplasmic enzymes in salt-stressed wheat.
