Aluminum/ Silicon Complex Due Calcium Carbonate Mixed with Silicon Oxide Treatments to Ameliorate Al3+ Toxicity in Maize (Zea Mays L) in Juchitlan, Mexico

The formation of aluminum-silicon complex eventually prevents the penetration of Al into the root cortex of mostly crops. The plants that suffer from heavy metal toxicity may be from silicon application through the increased release of compounds that immobilize the heavy metal ions. PDF
