Effect of Silica Application and Water Stress on Dry Land Soybean Crops

In conclusion, enhancing soybean resilience against drought through the application of silica and complementary soil amendments appears to be a promising avenue for improving dryland soybean crop yield. Future research should focus on long-term field trials assessing the performance of various soybean genotypes under different water management strategies and soil amendment practices to derive practical recommendations for farmers operating in drought-prone regions.
