Abstract/Contents: | Describes the role of "silicon in soil, silicon in plants, and silicon effects on abiotic...and biotic...stress". Explains that silicon (Si) is one of the must abundant mineral elements found in soil and that "many plants are able to uptake Si". Discusses "the beneficial effects of Si, direct or indirect, to plants under abiotic and/or biotic stress [that] have been reported to occur in a wide variety of crops". States that "the fertilization with Si has shown positive effects in alleviating abiotic stress as well as improving plant growth and development in several turfgrass species" and that "silicon has also been effective in suppressing diseases in a number of warm- and cool-season turfgrass species". Concludes by saying that "the use of Si for improving plant performance while controlling plant diseases in turf would be well-suited for inclusion in integrated pest management strategies and would permit reductions in fungicide use". |
