soil salinity levels (0, 2000, 4000 and 6000 ppm), as well as field experiment
under saline soil condition, to investigate the effect of spraying silicon
(0, 250 and 1000 ppm SiO2) and/or boron (0 and 25 ppm B) sprayed
twice (40 and 70 days after sowing) under pots experiment, as well as
spraying silicon (0, 250, 500 and 1000 ppm SiO2) and/or boron
(0, 25 and 50 ppm B) sprayed three successive times (at 35, 60 and 85
days after sowing) under field experiment on growth, yield and chemical
composition of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) var. Seets 1. Generally,
under pots experiment, both silicon levels either alone or combined with
boron significantly increased shoots height and leaf area as well as grains
yield/plant and weight of 1000. However, under field experiment only the
lowest level of silicon significantly increased all the studied growth
characters, while all levels of silicon significantly increased number
of spikes and grains as well as grains yield when compared with control
non-sprayed plants, however, the lowest level of silicon had the superiority
effect. Both silicon and boron applications correct to some extent the
negative effects of salinity either on growth, yield, nutrients uptake,
free polyamines and endogenous plant hormones (gibberellic acid and cytokinins)
while decreased abscisic acid. However, no constant trend was obtained
for indole-3-acetic acid concentration.]]>Acerbo, S., R. Kastori, H. Sochtig, H. Harms and K. Haider,1973Zea mays.]]>69306317Agarie, S., W. Agata, F. Kubota and P.B.
