Si helps plants to mitigate with abiotic and biotic stresses
because of Si-treated plants become stronger, sturdier and naturally more
tolerant. The purpose of the investigations was to look the effect of Silicon
on the iceberg lettuce growth and quality. There were two treatments: 1.
stabilized silicic acid treatment; 2. control. The first spray, when 1 real leaf
was present; the second spray was 2 weeks after spray 1; the third spray
was 2 weeks after spray 2. First spray: 1 ml silicic acid was solved in 0.5
litre distilled water; second spray: 2 ml silicic acid was solved in 1 litre
distilled water; third spray: 2 ml silicic acid was solved in 1 litre distilled
water. pH of spray solution was 5,5. Control plants were untreated. Iceberg
lettuce plants were taller and more bread in Si treatment compared to
control. The content of NO3, N, P, and Ca was higher in Si-treated plants.
