Abstract:Silicic acid (SA) is an important source of silicon (Si) that induces resistance in plants against insect pests. The present investigation aimed to investigate the impact of foliar spray of SA on the biological parameters of aphid, Lipaphis erysimi and the activity of defensive enzymes in rapeseed. The results demonstrated applying 0.4% SA significantly reduced the nymphal period, adult longevity and fecundity of L. erysimi compared to the control. In the 0.4% SA- treated rapeseed, the nymphal period, adult lo… Show more
