Abstract:Purpose: Silicon (Si) acts to reduce biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. Herein, we aimed to assess the impact of an amorphous silica-based fertilizer (ASF) applied to soil on the yield, mineral nutrition, chlorophyll fluorescence, and postharvest quality of two cultivars of table grapes grown in a semiarid climate. Methods: The cultivars Arra 15 and BRS Vitoria were submitted to the treatments control, 175 or 350 kg ha-1 ASF. Leaf and fruit samples were collected and analyzed for Si, nutrients, and posthar… Show more
