Sustainable agricultural production is critically antagonistic by fluctuating unfavorable
environmental conditions. The introduction of mineral elements emerged as the most …

One of the most chronic constraints to crop production is the grain yield reduction near the
crop harvest stage by lodging worldwide. This is more prevalent in cereal crops, particularly …

In order to improve soybean's resistance to lodging, silicon (Si) solutions at concentrations of
0,100, 200,300 mg kg− 1 were applied during the seedling stage. The Si accumulation in …

With increasingly frequent extreme weather events, lodging has become an important
limiting factor for crop yield and quality and for mechanical harvesting. Lodging resistance is …

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 …

Fragrant rice is a high-valued quality rice type which is gaining much popularity over the
globe due to its better cooking qualities and special aromatic characteristics. Selenium (Se) …

Silicon (Si) is one of the abundant elements on earth known to have numerous beneficial
effects on plant growth and development. These benefits are more prominent specifically …

Abstract In general, nitrogen (N), silicon (Si), and planting method influence fragrant rice
yield and lodging resistance. Nevertheless, the response of fragrant rice yield and lodging …

Stalk lodging in maize results in substantial yield losses worldwide. These losses could be
prevented through genetic improvement. However, breeding efforts and genetics studies are …
