Effectiveness of K2 siO3 on growth and physiobiochemical changes of banana seedlings grown under tropical climate as influenced by application frequency

Slow growth rate of tissue-cultured banana seedling's performance and high post-transplanting mortality rate are commonly due to low rate mineral content in the soil, climate change and soil-borne disease. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of potassium silicate (K2SiO3) on growth, physio...
