Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Silicon at 0.3% enhanced fruit growth, yield and biochemical attributes.
- Intervention effect Zinc at 0.75% produced the highest fruit growth, yield and quality.
- Intervention effect Silicon at 0.3% maximized antioxidant activity, flavonoid content and proline content, statistically matching 0.2% silicon.
- Intervention effect Silicon at 0.3% maximized catalase activity, statistically matching 0.2% silicon.
- Intervention effect Peroxidase activity was highest at 0.2% silicon.
- Intervention effect Zinc at 0.75% produced the highest antioxidant activity, flavonoid content and proline content.
- Intervention effect Zinc at 0.75% produced the highest peroxidase activity.
- Intervention effect Catalase activity was superior with 0.50% zinc.
- Association The silicon by zinc interaction was non-significant for most parameters.
- Association The silicon by zinc interaction differed for titratable acidity, TSS–acid ratio and ascorbic acid content.
- Association The silicon by zinc interaction differed for antioxidant activity, flavonoid content and peroxidase activity.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 0.2% silicon and 0.50% zinc for optimal peach production in Peshawar.
