Abstract

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the earth crust and is valued for its innumerable beneficial properties required for the growth and development of the plant specially under stressed environmental conditions [1]. Despite of this fact, it is not considered as an essential element for majority of the plants; as it was believed that most plants can complete their normal life cycle without supplementation of silicon to the soil [2]. However, more recently it has been observed that continuous application of NPK and other chemical fertilizers have depleted the normal Si availability in the soil.
