The Effects of Foliar Sprays with Different Silicon Compounds

The Effects of Foliar Sprays with Different Silicon Compounds

The use of foliar sprays with silicon compounds is relatively new. Initially (in 1990) foliar sprays with silicates were used. In 2003, foliar sprays with (stabilized) silicic acid were introduced, and more recently foliar sprays with silica nanoparticles have also been applied. Foliar sprays with s...

The limited data on foliar silica-nano sprays show a tendency to decrease biotic stress and to stimulate a limited increase in growth and yield.http://www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/7/2/45foliar spraysilicatesstabilized silicic acidsilica nanoparticlesgrowthyieldqualitybiotic stressabiotic stress
