Abstract:Light stress damages the photochemical apparatus and affects seedling growth of forest species. Using potassium silicate (K 2 SiO 3 ) can mitigate these deleterious effects and contribute to the acclimatization and robustness of seedlings. This study evaluated the effect of K 2 SiO 3 and shading levels on the photochemical and growth of Alibertia edulis (Rich) A. Rich seedlings. The experiment was arranged under three light conditions based on shading levels of 0 % (full sun), 30 %, and 70 %. Four doses of K2S… Show more
