Rice (Oryza sativa) is a typical Silicon accumulator plant (Si), in which fertilization programs is common the application of this element for its beneficial action. Thee high accumulation Si in the shoots of rice increases both multiple resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses. Silicon is the second most abundant element on the ground, however, is poorly soluble so there is a growing need to use exogenous sources of assimilable silicon, that enhance absorption and maximize their effec...

Silicon is absorbed as monosilicic acid and it is accumulated as amorphous hydrated silica ((SiO2)x.nH2O) in the plant body, thus limitation of its soluble forms difficult assimilation by plants. Silica deposition is one of the important characteristics of the family Poaceae (gramineae), among others. In this family of high agronomic importance its role has been widely studied: it is involved in the mechanical stability of tissues, protection against fungi, insects and herbivores, resistance...

The Mexican Lemon (Citrus aurantifolia) is grown in Mexico primarily in six states and covers an area of 153,442.62 hectares. Like other citrus also affected by the disease known as HLB (Huanglongbing), it is caused by the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, being this the most important disease worldwide because it causes a significant decrease in the production of most citrus including lemon Mexican where severe damages were observed. The use of minerals have been used to increase...

Blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae, is the most important fungal disease of rice worldwide. The application of soluble Si to the roots increased Si concentration in leaf tissues as compare to plants grown in soil amended with calcium silicate. X-ray microanalysis revealed that Si deposition was very similar on the leaf epidermis of plants sprayed with soluble Si, root amended with soluble Si or grown in soil amended with calcium silicate. The lesion size, the number of lesions per cm2 of le...

Armurox a formulation based on a specific peptide compound and a silicon technology, acts as an active barrier and stimulates plant defense mechanisms when pathogen appears. The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of Armurox on different crop disease targets like Monilia sp., Taphrina deformans and Puccinia sp.
