Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Silicon application ameliorated loss of dry weight under drought.
- Intervention effect Silicon application had no effect on dry matter production under wet conditions.
- Intervention effect Under dry conditions, silicon-applied sorghum had a lower shoot-to-root ratio.
- Intervention effect Silicon application maintained higher photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance under dry conditions.
- Intervention effect Silicon-applied sorghum extracted more water from drier soil.
- Observation Silicon had very similar effects in both cultivars regardless of drought susceptibility.
