Comparative effects of micron-sized silicon sources and Si nanoparticles on growth, defense system and cadmium accumulation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivated in Cd contaminated soil

Abstract

Elevated levels of cadmium (Cd) in soils posesignificant challenges to global agricultural crop production. The potential of silicon (Si) nanoparticles (NPs) and biogenic Si sources of different sizes to mitigate Cd stress in wheat remains largely unexplored. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of various sizes of biogenic Si sources: rice husk biochar (RHB), sugarcane bagasse (SB), and rice straw (RS); categorized by particle size (
