Silicon (Si) is not classified as an essential element for plants, but numerous studies have
demonstrated its beneficial effects in a variety of species and environmental conditions …

It has been long recognized that silicon (Si) plays important roles in plant productivity by
improving mineral nutrition deficiencies. Despite the fact that Si is considered as 'quasi …

Forages are one of the most cultivated crops in the world. However, nutritional deficiency is
common, specifically in N, P, and Ca in many forage-growing regions. Silicon (Si) can …

Potassium (K) deficiency affects physiological performance and decreases vegetative
growth in common bean plants. Although silicon (Si) supplied via nutrient solution or foliar …

The excess of the chemical fertilizers not only causes the environmental pollution but also
has many deteriorating effects including global warming and alteration of soil microbial …

Abiotic stresses such as salinity and drought stresses are known as the main constraints for
optimum growth of plants, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Therefore, in recent …

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust after oxygen. Its
beneficial impact on crop development and yield, particularly under stressful conditions such …

Future increases in air temperature are expected to increase the growth of Panicum
maximum, but with climate change it will be common for the binomial increase in …

Climate change increases the occurrence of droughts, decreasing the production of tropical
forages through the induction of physiological stress. Si is expected to broaden the limit from …

Cold stress (CS) impact on crops is one of the critical constraints for sustainable and smart
agricultural production. CS adversely affects plants leading to growth retardation, necrosis …
