Co-application Impacts of Silicon and Potassium Fertilizers on Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Growth and Nutritional Attributes in Cadmium-contaminated Soil Under Two Irrigation Regimes

Key Points

• Wheat growth improves significantly with silicon and potassium fertilizers, indicating beneficial impacts on nutritional attributes.
• The combination of both fertilizers results in enhanced nutrient uptake, particularly in cadmium-afflicted soils under different irrigation regimes.
• Analysis of plants grown in cadmium-contaminated soil and subjected to two irrigation regimes highlights fertilizer effects on growth.
• These findings suggest that using these fertilizers may enhance crop yield and quality, particularly in contaminated soils.
