Silicon and growth regulator induced defence against maize fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith)

A microplot field experiment was conducted to study the effect of silicon sources and growth regulator against maize fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda at Thoppur village of Virudhunagar district during Rabi, 2021-22. Basal application of different doses of calcium silicate and foliar application of silicic acid and potassium silicate were carried out. The results revealed that 150 kg of calcium silicate/ha + 0.2% silicic acid at 15 d after sowing (DAS) + 50 ppm GA at 30 DAS was found to be effective in reducing fall armyworm (FAW) population (1.23 larvae/plant) followed by treatment with 75 kg of calcium silicate/ha + 0.2% silicic acid at 15 DAS + 50 ppm GA at 30 DAS (1.27 larvae/plant). Regarding leaf and cob damage, the treatment with 150 kg of calcium silicate/ha + 0.2% silicic acid at 15 DAS + 50 ppm GA at 30 DAS was found to be most effective and significantly superior over all other treatments by recording lowest mean leaf damage score of 1.63/plant and mean cob damage score of 1.13/plant followed by the treatment with 75 kg of calcium silicate/ha + 0.2% silicic acid at 15 DAS + 50 ppm GA at 30 DAS with 1.66 leaf score/plant and 1.35 cob score/plant.

Effect of pre-harvest calcium silicate on post-harvest quality of tomatoes

The present work evaluated the influence of calcium silicate on the polygalacturonase enzyme activity, respiration, ethylene, and the physicochemical characteristics on the post-harvest quality of two tomato hybrids. The experimental design was of randomized blocks, with four repetitions in protected cultivation environment. The treatments were distributed in a 2 x 5 factorial scheme, corresponding to the hybrids (Ivety and Natalia) and five doses of calcium silicate (0, 150, 300, 450 and 600 kg ha-1), which were applied on the same day as the pots were filled. Evaluations were carried out on the fruits, namely: ethylene production, fruit respiration, firmness, number of loculus, polygalacturonase activity, total carotenoids, lycopene, phenolic compounds, soluble solids content, pH, titratable acidity and ascorbic acid content. The application of calcium silicate provided the reduction of ethylene production and fruit respiration. Natalia hybrid showed low polygalacturonase activity, this difference being due to genetic variabilityThe increase of calcium silicate doses provided the reduction of polygalacturonase enzyme concentration due to its constitution in the cell wall. The concentrations of lycopene, phenolic compounds, soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity and ascorbic acid in the fruits increased in response to the increasing doses of calcium silicate for 'Ivety'. Hybrids present distinct behaviors on the influence of the fertilization of tomatoes with calcium silicate, which can increase the post-harvest conservation and improve the physical-chemical characteristics of tomato fruits.

PHOTOSYNTHETIC EFFICIENCY OF TOMATO PLANTS SUBMITTED TO CALCIUM SILICATE APPLICATION

The objective was to evaluate the effect of calcium silicate on the chlorophyll content and gas exchange of two tomato hybrids. The design used was in randomized blocks in a 2x5 factorial scheme, with four replications. The first factor was composed of two tomato hybrids: Ivety and Natália, and the second factor was composed of five doses of calcium silicate (0, 150, 300, 450, and 600 kg ha-1), applied to the substrate before planting the seedlings. Gas exchange: net CO2 assimilation rate (A), leaf transpiration rate (E), stomatal conductance (gs), internal CO2 concentration (Ci), water-use efficiency (WUE), intrinsic efficiency water use (iWUE), and instant carboxylation efficiency (ACi); SPAD index and the levels of chlorophylls a, b, and total were evaluated. The analyzes were performed in the stages of first flowering (17 days after transplanting - DAT), full flowering (58 DAT), and full fruiting (78 DAT). At 17 DAT, no difference was observed for gas exchange variables and photosynthetic pigments. The application of calcium silicate reduced gas exchange and photosynthetic pigments at 58 DAT. The hybrid Natália had the highest A, WUE, iWUE, and ACi at 78 DAT. However, the hybrid Ivety in the same growth stage, in full fruiting, was superior only for the internal concentration of CO2 and SPAD index, with no difference for photosynthetic pigments.

Influence of Calcium Silicate on Soil Fertility and Corn Morphology

The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the development of corn (Zea mays) and soil fertility are influenced by the application of increasing doses of calcium silicate (CaSiO3) in substitution to limestone. The experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions and the experimental design was in randomized blocks, in a 3x2+1 factorial arrangement and four replications. The factors were: doses of CaSiO3 (7.62 mg.dm-3, 19.05 mg.dm-3 and 38.09 mg.dm-3) and liming (absence and presence). The soil of the control treatment did not receive limestone or CaSiO3. At 21 days after emergence (DAE), it was found that the control treatment plants had significantly lower height and stem diameter. At 35 DAE was observed that using exclusively CaSiO3 promoted 6% higher stem height values. At 63 DAE, no oscillations were observed in the biomass of aerial part and root between liming and CaSiO3 doses (P>0.05). Using the limestone allied the silicate doses increased in higher concentration of Mg in the soil. The lowest dose of CaSiO3 reduced the concentrations of Ca and Mg. Calcium silicate can be used as an alternative source to limestone for soil acidity correction.

Influence of calcium silicate in the culture of black beans

Beans are grown in different regions of the country, with an estimated average national production of 1.3 million tons in 2018. Their production is affected by nutrient deficiency, disease and / or soil acidity. One way to improve the use of agricultural inputs is to use silicates that are sources of silicon. Observing the importance of calcium silicate in crops of economic interest, the objective was to evaluate different doses of calcium silicate in the development of black beans. The experiment was carried out in pots with a capacity of 2,5 L filled with a typical dystrophic Red Latosol, with acidic pH around 3.88 cmolc / dm3 according to chemical analysis, where 0, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90% calcium silicate under greenhouse conditions. The bean was harvested after 45 days, where it was verified the fresh mass of the shoot, fresh root mass, root length, plant height, aerial dry mass. The data were submitted to the Tukey test at 5% significance level. From the parameters evaluated fresh shoot mass, fresh root mass, shoot dry mass and plant height showed significant results the application of calcium silicate from the 60% dose, thus demonstrating its importance for the vegetative development of the bean crop.

Metais pesados no solo e mamoneira adubada com biossólido e silicato de cálcio e magnésio

O biossólido é excelente fonte de nutrientes de plantas; entretanto, pode contaminar o solo. O trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a influência da adubação com composto de lodo de esgoto e silicato de cálcio e magnésio, nos teores de metais pesados no solo e em plantas de mamona. O experimento foi conduzido no Instituto de Ciências Agrárias da UFMG em Montes Claros, MG, no período de junho a dezembro de 2010. O cultivo foi realizado em área de Cambissolo Háplico utilizando-se a mamona (Ricinus communis L.) variedade BRS Energia. O delineamento foi em blocos casualizados em arranjo fatorial 2 x 4, com 3 repetições, sendo 2 doses de silicato de cálcio e magnésio (0 e 1 t ha-1) e 4 doses de composto de lodo de esgoto (0; 23,81; 47,62 e 71,43 t ha-1, em base seca). Não houve interação entre as doses de silicato de cálcio e composto de lodo de esgoto, bem como o silicato de cálcio e magnésio não influenciou os teores de metais pesados no solo e na planta. No solo os teores de Zn e Cu aumentaram com o incremento das doses de composto de lodo de esgoto sendo que Ni, Pb, Cd e Cr não foram influenciados pela aplicação deste resíduo. Na planta com aumento das doses de composto de lodo de esgoto houve aumento apenas nos teores de Cd e Pb.

Suprimento do silicato de cálcio e a eficiência nutricional de variedades de cafeeiro

Embora não seja considerado nutriente essencial às plantas, o Si é classificado como elemento benéfico ou útil, mas pode alterar a dinâmica nutricional das plantas. Objetivando comparar a eficiência nutricional de variedades de cafeeiro (Catuaí, Mundo Novo e Icatu) em resposta à adubação silicatada, realizou-se um experimento em blocos casualizados, com as três variedades de mudas em tubetes combinadas com seis doses de CaSiO3 (T0 = 0, T1 = 0,063, T2 = 0,125, T3 = 0,25, T4 = 0,5 e T5 = 1,0 g dm-3 de substrato). A variedade Icatu teve a maior eficiência de absorção (EA) de Cu, Zn, Fe e Si, maior eficiência de uso (EU) de N, K, Ca, B e Mn, não diferindo da Mundo Novo com relação aos nutrientes N, Ca e Mn, e maior eficiência de translocação (ET) de N, S, Zn e de Fe. A Catuaí teve maior EA de P, K, B e Mn, não diferindo da Mundo Novo com relação aos nutrientes P, K e Mn, maior EU para Mg, S, Cu, Zn, Fe e Si, provavelmente devido à melhor ET desses nutrientes, exceto para Fe e Si. A Mundo Novo foi mais eficiente na absorção de N, K, Ca, Mg, Mn e Si, teve maior EU de P e Mn e maior ET de K, Ca, B, Mn e Si.

Silicato de cálcio como amenizante da toxidez de metais pesados em mudas de eucalipto

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do silicato de cálcio na redução da toxidez de metais pesados no solo para Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Foram utilizadas cinco doses de silicato de cálcio (0, 1,6, 3,2, 4,8 e 6,4 g kg-1), em solos com diferentes graus de contaminação. O experimento foi conduzido em vasos com 1,5 kg de solo, com uma muda por vaso, em esquema fatorial 4x5 (quatro graus de contaminação x cinco doses de silicato). O silicato de cálcio reduziu a toxidez de metais pesados em E.camaldulensis, retardou o aparecimento dos sintomas de toxidez e diminuiu os teores de zinco e cádmio na parte aérea das plantas. Entretanto, não evitou totalmente a depressão no crescimento, nos solos com contaminação elevada. O efeito amenizante do silicato foi crescente com o aumento das doses e mais evidente nos solos com contaminação elevada. O efeito benéfico do silicato de cálcio está relacionado à redução da transferência do zinco para a parte aérea do eucalipto.
