“…Indeed, boron treatments increased grains yield from 3.634 t ha -1 to 4.892 t ha -1 , this achievement (34.6 % increase over control) was in corroboration with the findings of Halder et al (2007). The higher yield of wheat as obtained with B treatments agree well to the findings of Ahmed et al (2008) and Debnath et al (2011). Boron is necessary for reproductive growth.…”

Two field experiments were conducted under field conditions under a sprinkler irrigation system in the West desert of Iraq, Al-Qaim Area, 400 km west of Baghdad. Underground water was used as a source of irrigation water to study the effect of different rates and different times of boron application on wheat cv. Ibaa99. RCBD with five treatments and three replications was used in this study. Boron dose was 2 kg/ha for soil application method and 0.30 kg/ha for foliar application method. Boron treatments were: 0 (control T1), 2 kg B ha-1 at sowing time (T2), 2 kg B ha-1 at 30 days after sowing (T3), 0.3 kg B ha-1 foliar application at 60 days after sowing (T4) and 0.3 kg B ha-1 for foliar application at 90 days after sowing (T5). Most boron treatments gave a significant increase as compared with control in morphological, physiological and productivity characters of wheat crop. The results revealed that B application treatment at 30 days after sowing time increased significantly the 1000 grains weight (17.6%) while T5 treatment increased significantly the chlorophyll content (12.41%) over control. In most cases, B application treatment at 60 days after sowing time showed the best results and increased significantly the plant height (5.24%), leaf area (9.18%), number of grains spike-1 (30.9 %), number of spike m-2 (18.8%), spike length (65.6%), Grains yield (34.6%) over control. There was evidence that the best dose of boron was 0.3 kg B ha-1 and the best time of B application to the foliage was at 60 days after sowing.

“…Therefore, metabolic alterations by sugar accumulation could contribute to salt sensitivity that limits growth of the rice seedlings under salt stress conditions. Hanafy Ahmed et al (2008) [58] also demonstrated that soluble sugar contents of wheat plants decreased by adding silicon under saline soil conditions. A decrease in starch contents was observed in rice plants under NaCl stress.…”

The effect of NaCl with or without silicon on the growth and metabolism in rice seedlings cv. MTU1010 was studied. In these seedlings, the oxidative stress has been observed with NaCl treatments and the levels of proline, H2O2 and malondialdehyde contents were increased whereas catalase activity was decreased. NaCl exposure at 25 mM, 50 mM and 100 mM concentrations in the test seedlings resulted in an increase in both reducing and non-reducing sugar content. There was a decrease in starch contents and the activity of starch phosphorylase was increased. NaCl stress also affected the activities of different carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes. The activities of sucrose synthase and sucrose phosphate synthase were increased, while the activity of acid invertase was decreased. Joint application of silicon with NaCl showed significant alterations on all parameters tested under the purview of NaCl treatment alone leading to better growth and metabolism in rice seedlings. Thus the use of silicon enriched fertilizers may help to grow healthy rice plants in NaCl rich soil.

“…9,16 Silicon is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust, yet its role in biology of plants has been poorly understood. 4 Although silicon has not been listed among the essential elements for plants, but it can reach levels in plants similar to those of macro elements. 6 Ahmed et al 4 recorded that silicon caused to reduce the impacts of different stresses such as salt and drought stresses, metal toxicity, diseases, various pests, radiation damage, high temperature and nutrients imbalance.…”

The effects of bulk and Nanosized SiO on seed germination and seedling growth indices of fenugreek under salinity stress were studied in the College of Agriculture, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran, in 2013. The experimental treatments included 4 levels of salinity stress (0, 50, 100 and 150 mM), 2 concentrations of bulk (50 and 100 ppm), 2 concentrations of nanosized SiO (50 and 100 ppm), and control (without any SiO types). Seedling growth attributes significantly improved when bulk and nanosized SiO concentrations applied singly or with different levels of salt stress. However, they significantly declined with salt application. The adverse effects of salt on shoot, root and seedling lengths were alleviated by application of 50 ppm nanosized SiO treatment. Under salt stress condition, addition of 50 and 100 ppm nanosized SiO to fenugreek seeds increased shoot, root and seedling dry weights as compared to bulk SiO concentrations and control treatments, though 50 ppm nanosized SiO was more effective than 100 ppm nanosized SiO application. It was concluded that nanosized SiO improves growth attributes of fenugreek and mitigate adverse effects of salt stress.
