Direct effect of silicon soaking on Meloidogyne graminicola (Mg). a Nematodes attracted within 5 mm from the root tip were counted at 6 h after inoculation. b Attraction of M. graminicola towards the rice root tip after drenching with 0.04% Si or water. c Infectivity and development of silicon-incubated (Si) and water-incubated Mg in rice roots. d Mg nematodes in silicon-incubated (Si) and water-incubated plants were counted and photographed at 14 dpi. e The percentage of dead juveniles after incubation for 72 h in various concentrations of silicon and water. The experiment was repeated three times, with 6 individual plants in each replicate. Data are presented as the mean ± SE of six replicates
