Abstract

Affecting factors to the identification of crop production in drought conditions is essential due to the limited water resources. In order to investigate the effect of silicon acid and drought stress on sweet corns a randomized complete block design with split plot 3 replications was done. Treatments include: (I1) irrigation 50% of field capacity (severe stress), (I2) irrigation 65% of field capacity (medium stress), (I3) irrigation 80% of field capacity (weak), and (I4) irrigation 95% of the farm capacity (control samples). The main reason for doing this was to use the device humidity meter and foliar application of silicon acid at three levels: non-application of silicon acid (control), 1 and 1/5 Spraying important loss in subplots. The results showed that the negative impact of drought stress on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of corn plants, based on the most chlorophyll, protein, yield, biological yield and harvest index was full irrigation. Plant height and weight were also affected by irrigation. Irrigation, plant height, and grain weight irrigate 50% of field capacity, respectively, 8 and 10 percent respectively. The treatment was done by applying silicon Nano mitigate tension in the amount of maize and contains 1.5 Spraying silicon Nano-silicon application was not superior to the treatment. The results indicated a significant impact of silicon on corn.
