There is increasing interest in the effects of silicon on plant growth and development as well as crop yields. Silicon has beneficial effects on plants, including increased photosynthetic activity, better disease resistance, reduced mineral toxicity, improvement of nutrient imbalance, and enhanced drought tolerance. This book covers the beneficial effects of silicon in improving productivity in plants as well as enhancing the capacity of plants to resist stresses from environmental factors.
