Although silicon (Si) is ubiquitous in the earth's crust, its essentiality for growth of higher
plants is still under discussion. By recognising the overwhelming potential of Si in alleviating …

Silicon (Si) has emerged as a pivotal element influencing various aspects of plant growth
and development. This review explores the multifaceted effects of Si on plants …

Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.), a globally cultivated carbohydrate
producing crop of industrial importance is being challenged by soil salinity due to its …

Base-cutting is essential in sugarcane harvesting, and violent collisions between the base-
cutter and stalk can cause stubble damage. Therefore, it is necessary to study the base …

Silicon (Si) fertilization can mitigate biotic and abiotic stresses and increase the yield of
sugarcane. Considering the low availability of Si in tropical soils and the large amounts of …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of application of two silicon sources via
fertigation on nitrogen use efficiency and the production and crude protein contents of the …

Silicon (Si) has the potential to promote plant yield and improve their insect resistance, but
the direct defense mechanisms associated with the effects of Si on forage grasses and its …

Abstract Purpose Silicon (Si) acts to reduce biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. Herein, we
aimed to assess the impact of an amorphous silica-based fertilizer (ASF) applied to soil on …

In the current scenario, biotic and abiotic pressures driven by climate change pose serious
obstacles to sugarcane cultivation and highly risk for global production. Silicon (Si), a quasi …

The use of silicon (Si) in agriculture is a sustainable management strategy for both stressed
and unstressed sugarcane. The benefits of Si are multiple, including modifying the …
