“…In our research, the reduced number of Si doses justifies the fact that two PCs explain a large part of s 2 . This behavior was also observed by Ferraz et al (2021a) when they studied Si doses in BRS Safira colored cotton cultivar and by Ferraz et al (2021b) who studied Si doses in cultivar BRS Topázio, in which the researchers reduced the original variable set by two PCs.…”

“…BRS Rubi; according to classifications of Fonseca and Santana (2002), Almeida et al (2011), andLima (2018), these fibers were rated as of: short, strong, medium micronaire index, high uniformity index, regular short fiber index, high elongation at break, and medium reliability index. These results justify the use of silicon in the Brazilian cotton chain, especially in the growing of naturally colored fiber cotton, whose fiber quality improves with the application of Si (FERRAZ et al, 2021a). In the univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA), it was observed that Si doses had a significant effect on Chlb content and IEL.…”

Globally, the demand for food and consumer products has accompanied population growth, forcing the agriculture and livestock sector to optimize the production systems. In the specific case of agriculture, using improved edible and energetic plant cultivars associated with abiotic stress-reducing substances is a strategy adopted to solve this problem. This investigation aimed to evaluate whether silicon (Si) promotes physiological adjustments, an increase in production, higher yield, and improved quality of naturally colored cotton fibers. Five doses of silicon (0 (control), 5, 10, 15, and 20 kg ha−1) were tested in a completely randomized design. The variables assessed were physiological adjustments, production, yield and quality of fibers produced by BRS Rubi cultivar. Data were submitted to principal component analysis, multivariate and univariate analyses of variance, and multiple linear regression analysis. Silicon promotes physiological adjustments, enhanced production, yield, and quality of naturally colored cotton fibers of BRS Rubi cultivar grown in the Brazilian semiarid region. Fiber quality in plants that have been treated with Si is within the expected values for this cultivar and by the international standard D-4605 of the American Society for Testing and Materials. 10 kg ha−1 of Si is recommended to increase fiber quality of naturally colored cotton cv. BRS Rubi.
