摘要: Silicon (Si) has been reported to be a beneficial element and shown enhance disease resistance in many crops, although it is not regarded critical for plant growth development. In this study, the potential effect of Si supplementation on banana xanthomonas wilt (BXW) was evaluated using various cultivars. application at concentration 200 mg per week found optimal enhancing BXW without any detrimental effects growth. The varying duration showed continuous supply before after pathogen inoculation led significantly higher level all cultivars tested comparison non-Si-treated inoculated plants. Banana plants treated with only, also exhibited high protection against similar continuously Si. total content leaves increased Si-treated control amount accumulation directly correlated application; amounts than where terminated following bacterial or when started immediately inoculation. activity peroxidase enzyme This study confirms that enhances may provide an alternative management strategy.
