“…Dissoh'ed silica is a reactant inr,olved in secondhn-mineral formation in soils. Beneficial effects restllting irom the fertilization of some crops with silica are thought to be due to th; l'elease of phosphate from soil by soluble silica (12). Plants fertilized rvith silica are sometimes more l:esistant to diseases than a-re unfertilized Dlants (15).…”

“…Oxalate formation is common among fungi while citric acid formation is probably one of the most widely distributed metabolic processes known in fungi.' The metabolic products of lichens, algae, and diatoms have been shown by Russian workers (Jacks, 1953) to account of its possible ro Y e in pedogenesis but also in the release of SiO, phosphate to p ir ants (Taylor, 1961).…”

The decomposition of silicate minerals and related substances by fungi has been investigated using two techniques: (a) the incorporation of the mineral material in agar medium, when its breakdown is indicated by the formation of clear zones round the fungal growth; (b) the determination of the metal and silicate ions, derived from the insoluble materials and brought into solution as a result of fungal activity in liquid medium. Strains of fungi which produced citric and/or oxalic acid proved to be effective in decomposing certain natural silicates, while an oxalic acid-producing strain also released metallic ions and silica from rocks and soils. A possible role of fungi in biological weathering is discussed.

“…This fact led many scientists to investigate in detail the advantages of such uptake in anthropogenically modified soil ecosystems. Highlighted benefits have been listed during the last years in many studies and included crop resistance to a variety of pests and diseases (Adrees et al 2015;Bakhat et al 2018;Fauteux et al 2005;Reynolds et al 2016), ability to tolerate higher levels of metal concentrations in soils (Adrees et al 2015;Yu et al 2016;Khan et al 2021), ability to resist to drought and saline stressful situations (Coskun et al 2016;Liu et al 2019;Rios et al 2017), improvement of nutrient uptake (Sheng et al 2018) and alleviation of phosphorus deficiency (Schaller et al 2019;Taylor 1961).…”

Silicon (Si) is a “quasi-essential” element, associated to stresses/limitations alleviation in crops. However, stressful situations are becoming the norm, due to climate change, human exhaustion of natural resources, land degradation and loss of soil biodiversity. In this context, Si becomes a critical element, capacitating crops to grow more and better with less. A total of 467 articles up to 2021 were selected, reporting 501 experiments (lab-oriented and field trials) resulting in 682 cases where different Si-based fertilizers were used to study crops/plants with agronomic value to evaluate its physiological and/or agronomic performance under a specific motivation. Results show that 63% of cases testing Si-fertilization show increase in productivity, while 13% refuted this observation and 24% did not evaluate plant growth. Crop physiological responses was registered in 42% of the cases and only 3% did not report any alteration, although 55% did not evaluate these indicators. Symptom alleviation, in cases where stresses/limitations were studied, was registered in 74% of the cases with a low number of negative outcomes (9%). Field trials where crop yield was measured after application of Si-fertilization show that 69% of different measurements (599) register a yield improvement ≥ 5%, while 18% of the measurements registered between 0 and 5% and only 14% reported yield loss. Si-fertilization is therefore and important factor to improve crop yield and capacitate crops with resilience to endure future limitations. Its inclusion in modern agriculture should be considered in larger scales to adapt crops to the current challenges of sustainable agriculture and food provision.
