This book aims to describe the role of silicon in the environment
from the biogeochemical cycle of terrestrial ecosystems, uptake to
cellular and tissue bioaccumulation and its effects in mitigating
abiotic and biotic stresses. From an agronomic point of view, this
knowledge is essential to boost agricultural production and improve
its quality and the sustainability of crops in the face of the
growing pressure of different stresses on crop systems of different
natures. Si is the only multi-stress mitigator in plant nutrition.
It plays an important role in mitigating nutritional deficiency by
increasing nutrient use efficiency, something that will be very
important in the future: producing more with less nutrient
accumulated in the plant. The book focuses on the effects of Si on
plant mineral nutrition, exploring nutritional deficiencies and
toxicity of Al and potentially toxic heavy metals such as Cd, as
well as important stresses such as salinity, water deficit and high
temperature. The book will also discuss the Si extractors in the
soil and criteria for recommending Si in crops and the sources of
the element for its application in soil and leaves, as well as the
role of Si in the activity of microorganisms and in plant diseases
and pests. São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP)(2022/10092-9).
This textbook aims to describe the role of minerals in plant life
cycle; how these nutrients are absorbed, distributed, stored; what
functions each mineral plays and the disorders that their excess or
absence may cause. From an agronomic perspective, such knowledge is
key to boost crop production and improve its quality, and it also
helps understand how to better manage fertilizers and prevent
environmental issues. The book has focus on tropical agriculture
and its specific demands, providing examples of major crops (such
as sugarcane, soybeans, coffee etc), silviculture and pasture
species.
