Three endemic tephritid fruit fly species, Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly) (Cerratitis capitata), Natal fly (Ceratitis rosa), Marula fly (Ceratitis cosyra) and a fourth species of Asian origin, the Oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis), are considered pests of significant economic and quarantine importance in South Africa (Manrakhan et al. 2011). Fruit flies are notoriously difficult to control due to their polyphagous nature and high number of generations per year (Llorens et al. 2008)....

Silicon (Si) is known to enhance crop’s ability to withstand biotic and abiotic stress therefore can help crop maintain productivity even in adverse environmental conditions. In Louisiana, wheat production is commonly challenged by high disease pressure. A field study was conducted at two locations in Louisiana in 2014 to evaluate the effect of Si fertilization on wheat productivity using yield, nutrient uptake, grain protein content, and disease severity as metrics. Rust infection rate ta...

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...
