The College of Agriculture at the University of Basra organized a seminar entitled "The Effect of Silicon Spraying on the Growth and Yield of Some Field Crops (Wheat, Rice, and Oats)."

The seminar, presented by researcher Miqdad Falih Abdul-Hassan, aimed to highlight the effect of silicon spraying on the growth characteristics and yield components of wheat, rice, and oats, and its importance in the absorption of essential nutrients, especially in light of the environmental challenges facing Iraq, including water scarcity, climate change, global warming, and soil salinity.

The study included a presentation of the results of several scientific research studies and field experiments to evaluate the performance of wheat, rice, and oats under different levels of silicon and its effect on the absorption of essential nutrients, as well as on growth, yield, and its components.
