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 …

Water deficit stress severely threatens crop yield and numerous reports have shown silicon
could enhance plants resistance to water deficit. One of the most important mechanisms is …

Silicon (Si) application has improved yield and stress tolerance in sugarcane crops. In this
respect, C: N: P stoichiometry makes it possible to identify flows and interaction between …

Production of sugarcane and more recently of energy cane strengthen renewable bioenergy
production capacity. However, droughts resulting from climate change have limited the …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of silicon (Si) on iron (Fe) deficiency in
sorghum plants grown in a nutrient solution, seeing that sorghum crops are sensitive to iron …

Water deficit limits the establishment of sugarcane plants from pre-sprouted seedlings
(PSS). Silicon (Si) can mitigate such stress, and your supply in plants with the active …

Climate change has increased the occurrence of water deficit in regions where sugarcane
and energy cane are cultivated, jeopardizing dry matter production of stems. It was …

Climate change has prolonged periods of water deficit in sugarcane and energy cane crops.
This condition induces an imbalance of the carbon (C): nitrogen (N): phosphorus (P) …

Introduction Reduced water content in the soil triggers physiological, biochemical, and
morphological damage to plants, aggravated by nutritional deficiency. One possible strategy …

There is a need for new precision agriculture approaches that allow real-time intervention
within sugarcane rows to reduce costs and minimize negative environmental impacts …
