This study was undertaken to determine the effect of potassium silicate (K2SiO3) on the
physiological and growth characteristics and elemental composition of barley plants …

Abstract Effects of oil-palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) management on silicon (Si) cycling
under smallholder oil-palm plantations have hardly been investigated. As oil palms are Si …

Various studies have been performed to quantify silicon (Si) stocks in plant biomass and
related Si fluxes in terrestrial biogeosystems. Most studies are deliberately designed on the …

Wet‐chemical extraction of soil to quantify pedogenic species or to remove specific
compounds prior to other analyses is an established approach in analytical soil mineralogy …

Background Biodynamic agriculture is a management approach that aims to reduce the
reliance on agrochemicals for production by emphasizing the use of specific natural …

Purpose The production of apple fruits in orchards or plants in tree nurseries is negatively
affected by apple replant disease (ARD), worldwide. Our objective was to develop a method …

This study aimed to assess the potential benefits of externally applied biogenic Nano-Si in
combating combined salinity and B toxicity in barley and wheat plants. Nano-Si was …

Silicon (Si) has an important role in forest ecology, but controls on Si availability in tropical
forests remain poorly understood. For example, it remains unclear to what extent recycling …

Abstract Purpose Silicon (Si) improves phosphorus (P) utilization in plants. With this effect of
Si, less P fertilizer can be used and reducing the negative impact of P fertilizers on other …

Fragipan horizons are common diagnostic subsurface features typically identified by their
dense, brittle nature under field conditions. Fragipan horizons are often hypothesized to …
