- Intervention effect Silicon application increased wheat tiller number under both field salinity conditions.
- Intervention effect Silicon application increased wheat grains per spike under both field salinity conditions.
- Intervention effect Silicon application increased wheat grain yield under both field salinity conditions.
- Observation 'SARC-5' performed better than 'Auqab-2000' under salt stress.
- Observation Silicon had similar effects in both cultivars across saline and nonsaline fields.
- Mechanism Silicon improved wheat growth by improving the K + :Na + ratio.
- Observation Salt stress adversely influenced the K + :Na + ratio in wheat.
