Effect of Foliar spray with Potassium Silicate on Growth, Yield, Quality and Storability of Cucumber Fruits

“…Potassium silicate at 1% or 2% were less effective in this concern. The reduction of color development in cucumber fruits treated with potassium silicate could be attributed to the slow rate of respiration and reduced ethylene production, thus delaying color changes (Hammash and El Assi, 2007). Table (11) indicate significant decrease in hue angle h o values of cucumber fruits was noticed with prolongation of storage period in the two seasons.…”

“…Sci., Moshtohor, Vol. 56 (2) 2018 be attributed to that Si treatment covers fruit stomata with a Si layer, it reduces fruit respiration and concomitantly results in decreases weight loss in Si treatments, therefore, it could be positively associated with delaying fruit weight loss by maintaining moisture (Hammash and El Assi, 2007).Furthermore, silicon reduced membrane permeability (Laing et al,1993) and increased membrane stability and integrity (Agarie et al, 1998) due to endogenous silicon. Silicon might help in improving fruit quality due to suppression of respiration and reduction in ethylene evolution and thus minimized physiological loss in weight of the fruit.…”

The effects of Ortho Silicon (Optysil) and Ascophyllum nodosum Based Sea-weed Extract (KelpGreen) Applications on the Quality of Table Grape cvs. Gök Üzüm and Müşküle

“…Silicon probably contributes to retaining moisture in the fruit. Silicone applications reduce fruit respiration and WL by wrapping the fruit stomata with a silicone layer (Hammash and Assi 2007). Reduced activity levels of polyphenol oxidase limit mesocarp blackening of cut avocados (Bower and Dennison 2005).…”
