“…The Si may change the antagonistic activity of huge amounts of boron (B) (Kaya et al, 2011). The content of polyphenol oxidase and ascorbate peroxidase increased in Si treated melon (Conceicao et al, 2014). The Si induced resistance mechanisms to biotic and abiotic stresses without hampering growth and yield of the plants treated (Liang et al, 2015).…”

Silicon (Si) alone or Si + boron (B) foliar sprays at the maturity stage of light red of the cherry tomato cultivar 'Unicorn' were examined to determine the effect on the quality and shelf life. The foliar applications that were utilized in this study were: 20 mM Si alone from silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ), 20 mM Si from SiO 2 with 4.85 mM B from boric acid (H 3 BO 3 ) and distilled water as a control substance. The Si + B treatment resulted in the lowest respiration and ethylene production as recorded. The Si + B treated tomato fruits attained and retained the highest firmness as noted. Compared with the control, the Si + B treated fruits had less-soluble solids, higher titratable acidity, higher vitamin C content, and longer shelf life. The Si + B treated fruits and leaves had the highest Si and B content uptake. Therefore, Si + B foliar sprays increased and retained cherry tomato firmness, maintained soluble solids, maintained titratable acidity, increased the vitamin C content, prolonged shelf life, increased cellwall compactness, and increased Si and B accumulation as noted in the study.

“…Si doses increased the incubation period and reduced the incidence and severity of BFB. According to Conceição et al (2014), the application of calcium silicate to the substrate Basaplant ® and foliarly applying potassium silicate and yeasts, separately or in combination, also reduced the severity of BFB and protected melon seedlings and plants.…”

“…Despite the damage caused by BFB in Brazilian melons, few studies have focused on managing this disease using chemicals (Sales Junior et al, 2005) or biological control strategies (Oliveira et al, 2006;Santos et al, 2006;Medeiros et al, 2009;Conceição et al, 2014;Melo et al, 2015). Since no known resistant or tolerant melon cultivars are available, the major BFB control measure is the use of healthy and/or treated seeds.…”

“…Recent research in other pathosystems has assessed the associated effect of Si with the use of other treatments such as yeasts with A. citrulli in melon (Conceição et al, 2014); chitosan for management of Ralstonia solanacearum in tomato (Kiirika et al, 2013); adjuvants for management of Podosphaera xantii in melon (Tesfagiorgis and Annegarn, 2013); and biocontrol agents for management of Podosphaera xantii in zucchini (Tesfagiorgis et al, 2014).…”

“…Currently, very little information exists on using Si for enhancing resistance of melons to BFB (Conceição et al, 2014). Consequently, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Si on BFB disease progress on melon, as well as any changes in chemical attributes of the soil, and plant growth and mineral nutrition.…”
