“…Our results about yield are in line with the previous studies about the beneficial effects of potassium silicate that improved yield in many crops such as tomato grown under drought conditions (Vu et al, 2017), in strawberries (Zahedi et al, 2020), and in squash (Salim et al, 2021). Similarly, foliar application of acetyl salicylic acid enhanced tomato yield under low temperature stress (Meena et al, 2017;Meena et al, 2018).…”

Chilling injury is one of climate change challenges which effect negatively on plant growth of warm season crops. Low temperatures can be overcome by utilization high cost protected cultivation systems such as low tunnels. Open field experiment was conducted in Private farm, located in Mansouria District, at North of Giza Governorate, Egypt during two winter seasons of 2019/ 2020 and 2020/2021 to study the response of tomato cv. Platinum under low temperature conditions for foliar spray with: 1) Melatonin (100 μM); 2) acetyl salicylic acid (178 mM); 3) potassium silicate (250 mg/L); 4) the mix between acetyl salicylic acid (178 mM) and potassium silicate (250 mg/L); 5) water (control) compared with low tunnel and their effects on agronomic, quality traits and productivity with using of Auxin application as common agricultural recommendation in winter season. Our results revealed that plants of control showed the highest significant injury index on leaves and percentage of injury. All treatments reduced of injury index and injury %, especially the tunnel and the mix treatment. The mix between acetyl salicylic acid and potassium silicate significantly enhanced the agronomic traits such as plant height, number of branches, leaf area, shoot fresh weight and number of leaves/plants. All cold mitigators significantly decreased total sugars, proline and total phenols, except acetyl salicylic acid in total sugars in first season, melatonin in proline in first season and potassium silicate in phenols. The highest lycopene and TSS were recorded in the tunnel and the mix treatment, while the highest Vit C were detected for potassium silicate and followed by the Mix treatment then the tunnel. Except melatonin application in first season only, all cold alleviating compounds clearly increased fruit set, and total yield. Tunnel in first season only and the mix treatment in both seasons produced the highest significant early yield, total yield and number of fruits/ plants which were higher in fruit set percentage than other treatments. We suggested using the Mix treatment as low-cost alternative for low tunnels for tomato production under low temperature condition.

“…However, a K 2 SiO 3 treatment at a high concentration actually led to a decrease in the chlorophyll content (Cao et al, 2013). Vu et al (2017) also reported that a silicate fertilizer treatment increased the chlorophyll content up to a certain concentration, noting also a decrease at high concentrations. Additionally, Cumplido-Nájera et al ( 2019) observed a decrease in the chlorophyll content at high concentrations of K 2 SiO 3 .…”

Global agricultural practices emphasize the demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable production strategies. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of processed red clay (PRC), an eco-friendly material derived from red clay, and a microbial fertilizer containing Lactobacillus fermentum (MFcL) on tomato growth, fruit quality levels, and soil properties. Tomatoes were transplanted and cultivated in open-field experiments. PRC, MFcL, and PRC+MFcL treatments were applied at 500 mL•plant -1 four times at seven-day intervals. The chlorophyll content of tomato leaves decreased over time, with MFcL significantly affecting the chlorophyll content and photosynthetic quantum yield (F v /F m ). Significant differences in certain fruit growth traits, including the fruit width, weight, and fruit shape index, were observed among the treatments. Significant variations (p < 0.05) in the total yield and fruit cracking percentage were also found between the non-fertilizer (NF) and PRC treatments. The application of PRC significantly reduced the fruit cracking percentage and enhanced the crude protein and fat content of the fruits compared to the NF treatment. In addition, MFcL significantly increased the soil-available phosphorus content and decreased pH levels, and PRC+MFcL promoted rhizobacterial growth, showcasing the potential of these biofertilizer treatments. The combined treatment of PRC and MFcL proved effective for growing tomatoes in open-field conditions. Further research should explore various PRC and microorganism combinations to gain a comprehensive understanding and to assess the potential of their rational application to crops.

“…Furthermore, it was reported that potassium silicate (K 2 SiO 3 ) is more efficient than Na 2 SiO 3 or CaSiO 3 (Sivanesan et al, 2013). The commercial soluble silicate fertilizer 'Keunson' also showed beneficial effects on plant growth (Vu et al, 2017;Song et al, 2021). Therefore, we are still working on finding the most suitable Si application method for enhancing the growth and stress tolerance in strawberry.…”

Silicon (Si) has been reported to benefit plant growth and stress resistance. This work aimed to find out an optimal method of Si application to enhance the resistance of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) transplants to high temperatures, commonly experienced in the summer when strawberries are propagated for greenhouse production in Korea. Plants of strawberry “Sulhyang”, “Maehyang”, and “Kuemsil” were subjected to one of five treatments before the cutting propagation: no treatment (control), substrate dressing of a water-soluble silicate fertilizer, substrate drench of 75 mg·L−1 Si (from potassium silicate) to the mother plants, or foliar spray of 75 mg·L−1 Si to either the mother plants or daughter plants. Half of the daughter plants in each Si treatment received continued application of Si through either substrate dressing of a water-soluble silicate fertilizer, substrate drench, or foliar spray after the cutting propagation. A high temperature (43°C) resistance test was conducted in plant growth chambers for 7 days with a 16-h photoperiod with a light intensity of 300 mmol·m−2·s−1 PPFD. During the high temperature test, the rate of decline in the photosynthesis was lower in plants treated with Si than in the control. After the high temperature test, it was observed that Si application significantly increased the shoot fresh weight of transplants. Moreover, the contents of sugars, proteins, and enzymatic (CAT, SOD, POD, and APX) and non-enzymatic (anthocyanin and proline) antioxidants were higher in plants treated with Si throughout the entire propagation period, compared to the control and plants only treated with Si before or after the cutting propagation. Overall, the Si application improved the growth of the transplants regardless of the application method used. Moreover, spraying the daughter plants with Si, and continually spraying the transplants were found to be the best and is recommended to increase the resistance of strawberries to high temperatures during propagation.
