Silicon (Si) application is known to enhance plant resistance diverse pathogens. Therefore, a greenhouse study was conducted determine whether Si reduces red crown rot (RCR) of soybean caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogen Calonectria ilicicola. The cultivar Enrei grown in soil mixed with different concentrations sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) and inoculated C. ilicicola (1% w/v). significantly r...
