(a–c) Lens culinaris growth responses (a plant height, b shoot fresh weight, c shoot dry weight) as affected by applied Si and nano-Si in Pb-toxic soil conditions (Means + SE, n = 3). [LSD values for treatments interactions: plant height, Pb × treatment = 1.2517; shoot fresh weight, Pb × treatment = 1.2556; shoot dry weight, Pb × treatment = 0.3385]. (d–f). Lens culinaris growth responses (d = root length, e = root fresh weight, f = root dry weight) as affected by applied Si and nano-Si in Pb-toxic soil condition (Means + SE, n = 3). [LSD values for treatments interactions: root length, Pb × treatment = 2.2324; root fresh weight, Pb × treatment = 0.6120; root dry weight, Pb × treatment = 0.2144].
