Descripción

Silicon (Si) acts to reduce biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. Herein, we aimed to assess the impact of an amorphous silica-based fertilizer (ASF) applied to soil on the yield, mineral nutrition, chlorophyll fluorescence, and postharvest quality of two cultivars of table grapes grown in a semiarid climate.
