Soil application of potassium silicate reduces the intensity of downy mildew in bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) leaves

Soil application of potassium silicate reduces the intensity of downy mildew in bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) leaves

Effect of soluble silicon (Si) on downy mildew in bitter gourd (<em>Momordica charantia </em>L.) leaves caused by <em>Pseudoperonospora cubensis </em>was tested using three concentrations of liquid potassium silicate (100, 200, 300 mg Si/kg) added to the growing medium contai...
