“…Silicon application enhanced K/Na selectivity ratio in wheat cultivars thus enhancing biological and grain yields. Silicon when deposited in exodermises and endodermis of roots reduced Na uptake in plants (Gong et al, 2003). These results were agreed with those reported by Hanafy Ahmed et al (2008).…”

“…For example, silicon is a non-essential element for plant growth (Tahir et al, 2006), however, various studies have demonstrated that Si application significantly increased plant growth under normal (Agurie et al, 1992) and stress conditions including biotic and abiotic stresses as salt stress (Ma, 2004). A number of possible mechanisms are proposed through which Si may increase salinity tolerance in wheat (Ali et al, 2012), e.g., improving water status (Romero et al, 2006), increased photosynthetic activity and ultra structure of leaf organelles (Shu and Liu, 2001), stimulation of antioxidant system and alleviation of specific ion effect (Rafiq et al, 1992) by reducing Na uptake (Gong et al, 2003 andLiang et al, 2003). Si content in soils varies greatly and ranges from 1 to 45% by dry weight (Sommer et al, 2006).…”

The purpose of this research was study the rate and application method of calcium silicate (Ca 2 SiO 4 ) fertilizer appropriated for pepper seedling production. This study was divided into two experiments. Experiment 1, the effect of Ca 2 SiO 4 fertilizer application in pepper seedling by mixed in growing media was arranged in 2x6 factorials in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 replications. Factor A was seed preparation methods (seed primed with Ca 2 SiO 4 fertilizer at a rate 2 g L -1 and non-seed primed) and factor B was application rates of Ca 2 SiO 4 fertilizer at 0, 30, 60, 120, 240 and 480 kg ha -1 . Experiment 2, the effect of Ca 2 SiO 4 fertilizer application in pepper seedling by foliar method was arranged in 2x6 factorials in CRD with 4 replications. Factor A was seed preparation methods and factor B was application rates of Ca 2 SiO 4 fertilizer at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 g L -1 . All experiments data were collected such as plant growth and total silicon content in plant at 28 days after sowing (DAS). From experiment 1, the results showed that seed primed with Ca 2 SiO 4 fertilizer application at a rate 120 kg ha -1 gave the good plant growth and total silicon in plant. Experiment 2, the results showed that seed primed with Ca 2 SiO 4 fertilizer application at a rate 2 g L -1 gave the highest of plant growth and total silicon in plant. To conclude, Ca 2 SiO 4 fertilizer application can be employed for enhancing plant growth of pepper seedling and increasing silicon content in plant.

“…Zanão Júnior, Rodrigues 32 showed that the application of Si also has the potential to reduce the development of brown spot, since the high Si content on rice tissue has a negative impact on fungus penetration. Gong, Chen 33 reported that plants of wheat growing in pots to which silicon was applied before sowing had greater plant height, leaf area, and dry matter compared to the control in good watering conditions. This is in line with the findings of Souza, Martins 34 , who -while working with different doses of calcium silicate and magnesium and maize plants-found an increase in the dry matter of the aerial part, in leaf area and in height (14 days after sowing) as the silicate dose was increased.…”
