“…‘Catania’ is a high-yielding very early potato cultivar [ 52 ]. In the present study, the foliar-applied silicon (Na 2 SiO 3 ) increased yield and average tuber weight [ 50 ], but did not affect the content of dry matter in tubers [ 53 ]. The yield and average tuber weight were negatively correlated with the Cu, Mn, and Si content in tubers, but the dry matter content in the tubers was positively correlated with the content of these micronutrients.…”

“…Moreover, the dosage and the time of plant stage-dependent application of silicon are important [ 18 ]. In general, foliar silicon application is practical only at a very low dosage and starting in early plant-stage development [ 50 , 51 ]. There is scarce knowledge of the effect of different dosages and times of silicon application on the micronutrient concentration in potato tubers.…”

“…Potato cultivation was carried out according to common agronomical practices described in a previous paper [ 50 ]. Farmyard manure was applied in autumn at a rate of 25 t∙ha –1 , and mineral fertilizers were applied at rates of 80 kg N (ammonium nitrate), 35 kg P (superphosphate), and 100 kg K (potassium sulfate) per hectare in spring.…”

Since silicon can improve nutrient uptake in plants, the effect of foliar silicon (sodium metasilicate) application on micronutrient content in early crop potato tuber was investigated. Silicon was applied at dosages of 23.25 g Si∙ha–1 or 46.50 g Si∙ha–1 (0.25 L∙ha–1 or 0.50 L∙ha–1 of Optysil) once at the leaf development stage (BBCH 14–16), or at the tuber initiation stage (BBCH 40–1), and twice, at the leaf development and tuber initiation stages. Potatoes were harvested 75 days after planting (the end of June). Foliar-applied silicon reduced the Fe concentration and increased Cu and Mn concentrations in early crop potato tubers under water deficit conditions but did not affect the Zn, B, or Si concentrations. The dosage and time of silicon application slightly affected the Fe and Cu concentration in the tubers. Under drought conditions, the highest Mn content in the tuber was observed when 46.50 g Si∙ha–1 was applied at the leaf development stage, whereas under periodic water deficits, it was highest with the application of the same silicon dosage at the tuber initiation stage (BBCH 40–41). The Si content in tubers was negatively correlated with the Fe and B content, and positively correlated with the Cu and Mn content.

“…Studies with GMC showed a significant increase in tuber yield (by 9.5%) compared to the control combination and the share of tubers with a diameter above 60 mm [51]. The use of SM resulted in a significant increase in the marketable yield of tubers by 20.1% and the share of the medium-sized tuber fraction (41-50 mm in diameter) in the marketable yield [52].…”

The aim of the study was the evaluation of silicon foliar application on sugar beet yield. In the years 2017–2019, the effect of a single foliar application of various forms of silicon (potassium silicate—PS, calcium silicate—CS, sodium metasilicate—SM, and orthosilicic stabilized acid—OSA) applied in the six-leaf phase of sugar beet, 7 and 14 days later on yield and technological quality of sugar beet roots was assessed. It was found that the form of silicon does not have a significant effect on the yield of sugar beet roots, and significantly modifies the biological yield of sugar and the pure sugar yield. The highest biological yield of sugar is achieved by the foliar application of PS, and the pure sugar yield by PS and OSA. The date of foliar application as well as the interaction of the date of application and silicon forms do not have a significant effect on the root yield, biological yield of sugar, and pure sugar yield. The form of silicon has a significant effect on the technological quality of sugar beet roots (sugar, α-amino nitrogen, potassium, and sodium content). The most beneficial effect on the sugar content and reduction of sodium content in sugar beet roots is the foliar application of OSA, and the reduction of α-amino nitrogen and potassium content—PS. The timing of the application of various forms of silicon has a significant effect on the sugar and potassium content in sugar beet roots. The most beneficial effect on the sugar content in the roots is the application carried out 7 days after the six-leaf phase of sugar beet, and the potassium content is most limited by the treatment 14 days after reaching this phase. The interaction of the timing of foliar application and the form of silicon significantly modifies the technological quality features of sugar beet roots: the content of sugar, α-amino nitrogen, potassium, and sodium. The results of the study proved the significant effect of silicon foliar application on the physiological parameters of plants, such as leaf area index (LAI), absorption of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) which are related to yield and sugar beet productivity.

Biostimulants are a new type of agrochemicals that are highly effective when applying low doses (up to 10 kg/ha). The interest in the use of biostimulants is confirmed by the appearance of not only scientific papers, but also the formation in various countries of legislative bases regulating the use and classification of this type of substances in agriculture. Thanks to the influence of silicon-containing compounds as biostimulators of plant growth, several tasks of modern agriculture can be comprehensively solved: to minimize the effects of stress factors, to reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizer doses, to improve the quality of products, to stop soil degradation. The range of global manufacturers of silicon biostimulants is represented by liquid (monosilicon acid) or solid (amorphous silica or silica gel) forms. There are several silicon-mediated mechanisms that provide plant protection in conditions of biotic and abiotic stress. There is a hypothesis of the influence of silicon on the signaling system of plants, which requires additional research.
