Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Silicon application with water deficit produced the greatest leaf silicon concentration in potato.
- Intervention effect Proline concentrations increased with lower water and higher soil silicon availability.
- Association Silicon may be associated with potato osmotic adjustment.
- Intervention effect Water deficit decreased leaf total sugar and soluble protein concentrations.
- Intervention effect Silicon application decreased leaf total sugar and soluble protein concentrations.
- Intervention effect Silicon increased mean tuber weight and tuber yield, especially without water stress.
