“…It is abundantly available in soils and a number of substrates. For soilless cultures it is valuable to pay attention to the application of Si to nutrient solutions, dependent on the type of substrate used, the Si content of the primary water and the expected reaction of the crops (Voogt and Sonneveld, 2001). Si has an effect on the suppression of powdery mildew mainly with cucurbits and roses (Bélanger et al, 1995) and will increase the yield of some crops, (Miyake and Takahashi, 1983;Voogt and Sonneveld, 2001).…”

“…However, recent studies have shown that the Si nutrition enhanced growth traits in carnation (Bae et al, 2010), chrysanthemum 'Backwang' (Moon et al, 2008), gerbera (Kamenidou et al, 2010;Savvas et al, 2002), kalanchoe (Bae et al, 2010), sunflower (Kamenidou et al, 2008), rose (Ehret et al, 2005;Hwang et al, 2005), and zinnia (Kamenidou et al, 2009). Furthermore, application of Si has been shown to be able to control diseases (Rodrigues et al, 2003;Voogt and Sonneveld, 2001) and pests (Jeong et al, 2012;Ranganathan et al, 2006), alleviate toxicity of some heavy metals (Shi et al, 2010), and enhance resistance to drought (Chen et al, 2011), salinity (MateosNaranjo et al, 2013), and temperature stresses (Epstein, 1999;Ma and Yamaji, 2006).…”

Effect of silicon (Si) nutrition on growth and temperature stress tolerance of Nephrolepis exaltata 'Corditas' grown in a soilless substrate was examined. In vitro-grown acclimatized plantlets were transplanted into the pots containing a coir-based substrate. A nutrient solution containing 0, 50, or 100 mg･L -1 Si was supplied through a drip-irrigation system. After 5 months of cultivation, Si-treated and -untreated plants were grown at 10, 25, or 40 ± 1°C under a 12 h photoperiod with 530 µmol･m PPFD and 60% RH. After 7 days, chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were measured. Silicon nutrition had a negative effect on growth characteristics of N. exaltata 'Corditas'. However, Si-treated plants had more tolerance to temperature stress than the control plants. The Fv/Fm value was not significantly different when the plants were exposed to 25°C. However, significant difference in Fv/Fm was recorded when plants were exposed to 10 or 40°C. Thus, Fv/Fm could be used as an indicator of low and high temperature tolerance in ferns. The present study also suggests that application of Si may be used to enhance temperature tolerance of ferns.

“…A aplicação de Si também possibilitou flores de melhor qualidade em gérberas e girassol (SAVVAS et al, 2002;KAMENIDOU et al, 2008). Em revisão realizada por VOOGT & SONNEVELD (2001), sobre a aplicação de Si em plantas ornamentais, há relatos da redução da toxidez por Mn em poinsettia e redução da severidade causada por Oidium saintpauliae em violetas.…”
