Abstract

---

An experiment was conducted in an aerated hydroponic system to examine the ameliorating effects of varying levels of silicon on growth and some key gas exchange characteristics in two maize cultivars subjected to salt stress. Various components of the experiment were two maize cultivars (Sahiwal-2002 and Sadaf), two salt treatments (0 and 150 mM NaCl) and nine Si levels (0, 0.4, 0.8
