HA by 20.71% > K-H by 13.4 > SA by 7.55%. Total Si (g kg-1) in seeds significantly increased in the order GA3 by 700% > SA by 672.73% > HA by 386.36% but decreased by 22.73% for K-H for which Si-uptake decreased significantly by 16.54%. The studied plant growth regulators (PGRs) may affect the soaked wheat seeds physiologically and result in an interrupted nutrient uptake due to imbalanced nutrient availability including NPK and Si. However, soaking in K-H can be recommended and preferable than GA3, HA, and SA for health aspects and to avoid luxury Si consumption by seeds.]]>

I2 > I3 > I4. However, it followed as T4 > T3 > T2 > T1 under inoculation treatments. Thus, inoculation with Bradyrhizobium sp. + B. circulance under withholding one irrigation at pod formation stage could be efficiently used to partially eliminate the effects of water stress on growth dynamics of cowpea.]]>
