“…Kaolin showed an inhibitory effect in grape berry weight in the Cabernet Sauvignon cultivar [39], while another study showed an increase in grape berry weight upon its treatment [21]. Potassium silicate, as well as other silicates, did not influence the berry weight and production [26] in earlier studies. Present investigation suggests that kaolin and potassium silicate has no stimulatory effect on the berry weight and production.…”

“…Foliar exogenous application with silicate materials have been used since the 1990s; however, efficiency and safety issues have been largely overlooked [26]. Therefore, this work aimed to make a comparative study of the efficiency of different foliar mitigation treatment, namely with kaolin and potassium silicate on the grape berries (Vitis vinifera L. cv.…”

Grapevine physiology is influenced by several environmental factors, such as temperature, precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, and sunshine hours. Due to climatic changes, effects in grapevine physiology and consequently on the grape berry composition and quality have been observed. This work aims to make a comparative study of the effect of foliar mitigation treatment with kaolin (5%) and potassium silicates (0.1% and 0.05%) on the grape berry quality; namely on berry weight, pH, probable alcohol, total phenolics, tannins, total anthocyanins, monomeric anthocyanins, calcium, potassium, and magnesium composition from Portuguese grapevines (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca). The results suggested that the phenolic composition and anthocyanin content differs between treatments while other parameters showed distinct behavior among the different applications. Qualitative parameters observed in the present study suggested non-significant changes upon both the applications.

“…The foliar application of nano-SiO 2 increase the production systems of crops under unfavourable environmental conditions 44 . Foliar sprays with silicates are effective as pesticides, while silicic acid sprays increase growth growth and yield and decrease biotic and abiotic stresses 45 . With the use of nanotechnology, it has been improved the quality of modern agricultural practices by them technical, safer and improved quality in agricultural products nutritious 46 .…”

All technological innovation that influences research to achieve yields and counteract biotic and abiotic stress in crops should be a priority for governments and scientists around the world. Silicon nanoparticles (NpSi) in the production and protection of crops are used as a sustainable strategy. In addition to NpSi, other nanoparticles have been applicable in areas such as environmental remediation, medicine and smart sensors. There are plants that accumulate high concentrations of Si in their tissues, such as "horsetail" (Equisetum arvense). A recent analysis of the elemental composition of E. arvense in a cross section, epidermis, and total biomass indicated that the Si concentration was higher in comparison with macro and micronutrients. Elemental mapping showed that all polymerized silicon (SiO2 • nH2O) is available in the epidermis of Equisetum. Currently, our team is investigating the extraction, purification and quantification of SiNp. The lines of emerging research should be those related to the interaction of SiNp in the cell wall, concentration and intelligent application with aerial equipment in crops such as vegetables, cereals, and fruits.

“…The total fruit yield plot -1 of squash recorded increase about 46 and 50% by 4gl -1 potassium silicate over the gained by control treatment(tap water) during the two seasons, respectively From the above mentioned results, it could be suggested that, the superiority of potassium silicate in this respect may be attributed to the combination effect between the two sources, silicate and potassium which potassium silicate contains. Silicon had profitable effects on plant growth, yield quality, stimulate photosynthesis and improvement the resistance of plant to abiotic and biotic stresses (Mitani and Ma, 2005, Abd-AlKarim et al, 2017and Laane, 2018. In the same time, the favorable effect of potassium on yield and its attributes might be interpreted to spraying potassium increased the available potassium which needed to accomplish the two processes flowering, as well as fruit setting and consequently reflected on all yield parameters.…”

This investigation was conducted at the Experimental Farm, Fac. Tech. and Develop. (Gazala region -Zagazig), Zagazig Univ., Sharkia Governorate under open field during the two fallwinter seasons of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017, to study the effect of three cultivars of squash ( Eskandarany, Revera and Azyad) and foliar spray treatments with, yeast extract at the rate of 3 and 6gl -1 ,as well as potassium silicate at the rate of 2 and 4gl -1 plus control (tap water)and their interactions on flowering expression, i.e., number of male and female flowers plant -1 , sex ratio and femalness percentage, yield and its components (number of fruits plant -1 , fruit fresh weight, and dry matter percentage, total fruit yield plot -1 and relative yield), as well as fruit quality, i.e., fruit physical characters (both of fruit length and diameter) and fruit chemical composition (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content, protein and total carbohydrates percentage). Results showed the superiority of the two tested cultivars Azyad and Revera at all studied characteristics compared with Eskandarany cv. Spraying with yeast extract or potassium silicate significantly increased most parameters of flowering, fruit yield and quality attributes of squash than control treatment . Moreover, spraying plants with potassium silicate at rate of 4gl -1 or yeast extract at 6gl -1 significantly surpassed compared with the other foliar treatments and control in this respect. The best results of the interaction treatments for flowering, yield and fruit parameters were recorded by the two cultivars Azyad or Revera combined with the foliar 434 SALAMA et al.spray by 4gl -1 of potassium silicate or 6gl -1 of yeast extract which recorded increased in most of all the mentioned studied parameters.Hence, each of these treatments could be recommended for enhancement flowering, yield and fruit quality of squash plants with low cost production when planted in open field at fallwinter season under the same conditions of this experiment.
