e0“Both rates of Si achieved marked increases in the vegetative growth, flowering, chlorophylls, LRWC, TSP, superoxide dismutase (SOD), CAT, peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, which in turn reflects on improving fruit setting %, total fruits, and yield of squash plants under well or deficit irrigation.”
