Plants take up silicon (Si) from the soil which impacts their growth and nutrient accumulation.
It increases plant resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and …

Silicon (Si), despite being abundant in nature, is still not considered a necessary element for
plants. Si supplementation in plants has been extensively studied over the last two decades …

Background: Diatomite is a clay material and a mineral that contains high content of silica
and alumina and additional element traces. The characteristics and properties of the Saudi …

Due to the frequent occurrence of extreme weather and severe environmental pollution, food
security and human survival are at risk. Silicon, a key element in plant nutrition and …

There are few results about association Si and water deficit in sugarcane plants, regarding
physiological aspects. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Si …

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between Si and NH4+ toxicity in the
context of the nutrition, physiology, and production of sugar beet grown using hydroponics …

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 …

The efficiency of silicon (Si) foliar spraying in sorghum plants can be increased with new
sources that may enhance the uptake of the beneficial element with reflexes in physiology …

Silicon (Si) and potassium are known to impart tolerance against numerous biotic stresses in
crop plants. A study was conducted to determine the effect of diatomaceous earth (DE), a …

This review aims to evaluate the scientific evidences for siliceous natural nanomaterials
(SNNMs), natural zeolites, and diatomaceous earth, as biorationals. Both SNNMs are …
