Table 1.

Total plant dry weight and leaf dry weight of cucumber plants at the end of experiment. Plants were treated with excess Cu (Cu), excess Cu and Si supply (Cu + Si), excess Cu and additional Fe supply (Cu + Fe), or combined excess Cu and additional Fe and Si supply (Cu + Fe + Si); control plants (C) remained untreated.

Cu 0.209 ± 0.047 a 0.160 ± 0.005 a
Cu + Si 0.265 ± 0.021 b 0.199 ± 0.014 b
