The effect of sodium silicate on maize growing under stress conditions
Na2Si3O7 was applied on maize growing under lab. osmotic stress conditions. Some negative effects of salt stress (60 mM NaCl) were alleviated by the Si addn. but the plant response under drought conditions was not significantly modified. An improvement of the vigour plant was possible.
