“…As already mentioned in the introduction, the definition and prioritization of phosphate efficiency measures are strongly dependent on the available P in the target environment and on the harvested material being removed from the field. While the first factor is mainly influenced by the base P level and the soil type with its properties (Erel et al, 2017; Ibrahim et al, 2021; Leiser, Rattunde, Weltzien, Cisse, et al, 2014), the amount of fertilizer and the interaction of P with other plant nutrients (Frank Stephano et al, 2021; Weiß et al, 2021) as well as the management of the field (Nkebiwe et al, 2016; Xin et al, 2017), the latter is above all a question of the farm's operating mode. A dairy farm will harvest silage maize and in the next season resupply a part of the P to its fields in form of manure.…”

Future farming is required to produce high yields with reduced inputs. Increased fertilizer prices and policy goals underline the need to breed for nutrient‐efficient varieties. We therefore conducted a multienvironmental field trial comprising 400 maize genotypes, half elite lines and half doubled haploid lines from six European landraces and assessed yield parameters and corresponding phosphorus concentrations at two developmental stages. From these traits, we derived several measures for phosphate efficiency and evaluated them phenotypically and genetically. The results of this study revealed that ample variation for phosphate efficiency is present in maize. However, while elite material clearly outperformed all landraces with regard to yield‐related traits, some landrace genotypes indicated superior early development characteristics. The phosphate efficiency measures showed a complex genetic architecture, and hence, genomic selection appears best suited to assist their improvement. Taken together, breeding for phosphate efficiency is feasible but should be performed under the same conditions in which the crops are eventually grown because phosphate efficiency and what is deemed a sustainable P balance largely depends on the context.

“…Besides variations in light conditions, different types of fertilizers can be used to improve plant growth and production, particularly silicon-containing fertilizers [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Si is one of the most abundant elements on Earth; its concentration corresponds to 14–20 mg Si/L [ 21 , 22 ], which does not go beyond the concentrations of other inorganic elements.…”

The effects of different spectral compositions of light-emitting diode (LED) sources and fertilizer containing biologically active silicon (Si) in the nutrient solution on morphological and physiological plant response were studied. Qualitative indicators and the productivity of plants of a red-leaved and a green-leaved lettuce were estimated. Lettuce was grown applying low-volume hydroponics in closed artificial agroecosystems. The positive effect of Si fertilizer used as a microadditive in the nutrient solution on the freshly harvested biomass was established on the thirtieth day of vegetation under LEDs. Increase in productivity of the red-leaved lettuce for freshly harvested biomass was 26.6%, while for the green-leaved lettuce no loss of dry matter was observed. However, being grown under sodium lamps, a negative impact of Si fertilizer on productivity of both types of plants was observed: the amount of harvested biomass decreased by 22.6% and 30.3% for the green- and red-leaved lettuces, respectively. The effect of using Si fertilizer dramatically changed during the total growing period: up to the fifteenth day of cultivation, a sharp inhibition of the growth of both types of lettuce was observed; then, by the thirtieth day of LED lighting, Si fertilizer showed a stress-protective effect and had a positive influence on the plants. However, by the period of ripening there was no effect of using the fertilizer. Therefore, we can conclude that the use of Si fertilizers is preferable only when LED irradiation is applied throughout the active plant growth period.

“…Application of silicon causes reduction of plant infestation by diseases [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] and pest [5,8,9,[11][12][13]. It also increases the plant's tolerance to drought [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], high and low temperature [14,[25][26][27], shading [28], flooding with water [14], and deficiency of macro-and micro-nutrients [29][30][31]. Silicon can also reduce the harmful effects of soil salinity, which can be severe problem in some regions [4,[32][33][34][35].…”

Water shortage and drought are a growing problem in Europe. Therefore, effective methods for limiting its effects are necessary. At the same time, the "field to fork" strategy adopted by the European Commission aims to achieve a significant reduction in the use of plant protection products and fertilizers in the European Union. In an experiment conducted in 2018–2020, the effect of the method of foliar fertilization containing silicon and potassium on the yield and technological quality of sugar beet roots was assessed. The fertilizer was used in seven combinations, differing in the number and time of application. The best results were obtained by treating plants during drought stress. The better soil moisture for the plants, the smaller the pure sugar yield increase was observed. It is difficult to clearly state which combination of silicon and potassium foliar application is optimal, as their effects do not differ greatly.
