Abstract:Silicon (Si) has multiple benefits in crops. Most of the studies on Si have been carried out by applying some type of stress. It has even been suggested that the positive response of Si is determined by the degree of stress in the plant, and there is little information on Si and its effect on the plant when there is no induced stress factor. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of edaphic Si on the growth, production and concentration of antioxidants in tomato under greenhouse conditions with… Show more
