Drought-induced osmotic stress is a significant constraint to soybean growth and yield, necessitating the development of effective mitigation strategies. Silicon acts as an important strategy mitigate negative effects drought stress. The study was aimed evaluate potential soil-applied silicon in alleviating soybean. Two field capacities were tested: control (85% FC) (50% FC), with four application rates (0, 100, 200, 300 kg ha−1) applied at sowing. Drought significantly affected morphological parameters plant height, leaf area, water reduced by 25%, 20%, 36%, respectively, while root length increased compared control-85% FC. However, density, surface biomass Additionally, photosynthetic rates, chlorophyll b levels, stomatal conductance, increasing malondialdehyde hydrogen peroxide. natural defense system upregulated, activity phenolics, soluble proteins, antioxidant enzymes like catalase, superoxide dismutase, peroxidase. applications, especially 200 ha−1, alleviated improving morphophysiological biochemical traits soybeans. Compared control, Si200 length, rate, 22%, 39%, 23%, 17%, control. Furthermore, peroxide levels 21% 10%, enhancing resilience. supplementation also boosted attributes, total enzyme activities 30%, 55%, 19%, 24%, 31%, under conditions. In crux, ha−1 effectively mitigated soybean, becoming more sustainable approach sustain crop yield food security.

Yield and Quality of Maize Grain in Response to Soil Fertilization with Silicon, Calcium, Magnesium, and Manganese and the Foliar Application of Silicon and Calcium: Preliminary Results

Agronomy, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(4), С. 837 - 837

Опубликована: Март 27, 2025

Climate change is forcing the search for innovative solutions to effectively reduce its harmful effects on food production. In addition, increasingly stringent regulations are being introduced in European Union (the Green Deal), mandating reductions mineral fertilizer doses, which can crop yields. One technology could be soil fertilization and foliar application of Si-based fertilizers. A two-year field experiment (2023 2024), commercial conditions Kraski (52°2′42″ N, 18°54′6″ E), Central Poland, studied effect differentiated products yield quality maize grain at two levels nitrogen/phosphorus/potassium (NPK) (100% 50%). The SiGS® (Si—200 g kg−1, Ca—181 Mg—46 Mn—45 kg−1) was applied doses 100, 300, 500 kg ha−1, alone or with Barrier Si-Ca® (Si—336 dm−3; Ca—207 dm−3) (1 dm3 ha−1). number combinations assessed 16. were compared against control treatment. evaluated plant physiological parameters, dry matter yield, moisture content (protein, fat, starch content), components. highest yields obtained a dose ha−1 (giving an increase 17.5%), 300 plus (+16.4%), (+17.8%). treatments half-rate NPK similar magnitude (on average, +11.9%) full rate (+12.6%) treatments. Doubling contributed 7.8%. had significant beneficial protein fat grain, while it reduced content.

Foliar application of nano-silicon enhances drought tolerance rate of pot marigold (Calendula officinalis L.) by regulation of abscisic acid signaling

BMC Plant Biology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 24(1)

Опубликована: Дек. 20, 2024

Pot marigold (Calendula officinalis L.) is an herbaceous ornamental and medicinal plant. Climate models predict a reduction of precipitations increasing the average temperature. Therefore, agricultural plants will be more frequently exposed to water deficit stress. To investigate influence nano-silicon foliar application (0, 50, 100, 200 mg L− 1) on alleviation drought stress (100, 75, 50% Field capacity (FC)) adverse effects plant characteristics, factorial experiment was conducted based completely randomized design with three replications. The chlorophyll content treated 1 decreased by 8.39% when increased from 100 FC. In line electrolyte leakage percentage, highest malondialdehyde H2O2 measured in non-treated under level activity peroxidase superoxide dismutase enzymes concentration severity. Under all levels treatment, cell's abscisic acid Also, 1. There significant negative correlation between leakage, content, morphological photosynthetic pigments total protein, antioxidant activity. positive effect correlated enhancing activity, membrane stability, cell osmotic potential. one most critical mechanisms silicon's damage regulation signaling. As result, could introduced as promising influential technique overcome morpho-physiological biochemical characteristics

Investigating Potassium silicate efficacy for improving the strawberry agronomic traits and gray mold fungal resistance

Research Square (Research Square), Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Май 10, 2024

Purpose: Strawberries are a high-value crop in the United States due to their increasing demand and nutritional benefits. However, strawberry plants delicate sensitive abiotic biotic factors prone gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea during harvest post-harvest operations, leading significant economic losses. Fungicides effective but raise concerns about residues evolution of fungal resistance, limiting use. Hence, developing alternative approaches is critical for improving plant's resilience solutions combat fungus. Methods: To assess potassium silicate efficacy on agronomic traits, two cultivars (Flavorfest Rutgers Scarlet^TM) growing under high tunnel conditions were foliar sprayed with different doses (0, 2, 3, 4mL per gallon water) five applications fall 2018 as well spring 2019. Silica accumulation plant samples was determined using Scanning Electron Microscope images coupled an Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (SEM-EDS) analysis spectrophotometer method. An in-vitro experiment used determine antifungal activity against B. cinerea. Results: Strawberry leaf treated 2 mL had higher silica concentrations phytolith production, which strengthened aerial parts, reduced translocation roots, significantly boosted width marketable yield compared other treatments. Furthermore, treatment growth Conclusion: Our findings suggest that provides potential options improve traits strawberries preventative measures
