From: Silicon in the form of nanosilica mitigates P toxicity in scarlet eggplant
Cu accumulation (a), Cu use efficiency (b), Fe accumulation (c), Fe use efficiency (d), Zn accumulation (e), Zn use efficiency (f) in scarlet eggplant plants grown in nutrient solution with adequate and excess P in the absence (-Si) and presence of silicon (Si +). Different uppercase letters mean between conditions of P (adequate or excess) within the same Si level (p < 0.05) and lowercase letters indicate differences between treatments in the absence and presence of Si within the same level of P (p < 0.05). The F test was applied: *(p ≤ 0.05) and **(p ≤ 0.01). Both were determined by Tukey's test at 5% probability *(p < 0.05) e ** (p < 0.01). The bars represent the mean standard error. n = 6.
